You'd never believe this is the first full length play of an Abingdon writer performed by an Abingdon amateur theatre company (but it genuinely is). The quality of the writing is very high - the play deserves to be seen by audiences far and wide, and on the professional stage or TV screen.

The set makes this tiny stage seem far bigger than it really is, with a very clever design of the main kitchen diner set folding back to reveal the setting of the other scenes in the care home, and a huge drape forming the park setting of scene one rising up and then serving as a screen on which words appear between scenes. Haunting bold piano music punctuates key scenes to add to the stirring sense of present sadness and past glory.

The very believable cast did full justice to what is a remarkably well-honed and sensitive script, with appropriate variations in pace and some wonderfully developed chemistry, and tensions, between the leading characters.

All in all a powerful, moving and thought provoking play, interwoven with poignancy and surprising humour.

Get a ticket to see the show at the Unicorn Theatre in Abingdon before it closes on Saturday 22 November - this really is history in the making.
