This new play is a funny, touching and sometimes savage portrait of a family that's losing its grip. After an operation, feisty but aging high society drop-out Judy is joined in her dilapidated house on the Devon coast by her wayward offspring Nick and Libby, sharp-eyed granddaughter Summer, local doctor Peter, and Daniel, a troubled teenager. Together they share a few sweltering months in this chaotic world of all-day drinking, infatuations, long-held resentments, free love and failure.
