By Chloe Moss.
A darkly comic play about the disintegration of a family get-together.
Mike and Julia made sure their children Rob and Stacey had the best of everything when they were growing up. Now they’re adults all they want is to be proud parents.
But when they all meet up in a Lake District holiday cottage to celebrate Stacey’s birthday, the bid to keep up appearances in front of an unexpected guest soon falls by the wayside as secrets are revealed.

Duncan Brown exhibition 1 - 28 March 2024 10:00am - 4:00pm Free admission East Kilbride Arts Centre
A local art exhibition of everything Scottish... its history, people, landscapes, animals and birds, historic buildings, myths and magic. All painted by the Scottish artist, piper, and author Duncan Brown. His book, My Hero, My Soldier Laddie, about Lanarkshire’s Victoria Cross winners, was published and debated in Parliament in 2010. It was supplied to every school and library in Central Scotland at the time, via the Scottish Parliament. Due to this, a large granite monument now stands proud in Hamilton’s New Town Square. It forever declares the names and pride in these special soldiers of Lanarkshire. The research for this was extensive, as is every other painting subject of this exhibition.
