    An excellent Do3, and the ninety minutes zoomed by. I didn't hamper myself with any expectations of 'literary creativity v mental equilibrium', although this aspect forms the backdrop of the play. Enjoy it for the quality of the writing, and the authentic performances from Paul Rhys and Lia Williams, the latter being particularly good I thought.

      Glad you appreciated him too, am51. I was brought up in a three-generation family and even as a young child noticed the mental deterioration of the elderly (two big age gaps between the generations in our family) which was both funny and deeply pathetic. But the part was also beautifully written.
      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
