Autor David Storey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 oct 2015
Two elderly gentlemen stroll on to an almost bare terrace. They discuss various subjects - the past, schooldays, climate, the sea, moustaches, the war, families, etc., etc. It is not until the following scene when we meet two women that we realize we are actually in the grounds of a mental hospital, and that these people are patients. Although with no plot at all in the conventional sense and sparse dialogue, by the end of the afternoon we have been moved to compassion and respect.

Recenzii

A most rich and compassionate play. It is funny, sprightly and uplifting . . . the writing is extraordinarily pungent, its skill is in capturing spontaneity and freezing it into art. A lovely play, a sad play.
A sad Wordsworthian elegy about the solitude and dislocation of madness and possibly about the decline of Britain itself . . . part of the play's appeal is that Storey leaves us to draw our own conclusions . . . a play that contains within itself the still, sad music of humanity
An affectionate, intelligently acted revival
