Outline of Play
The play charts the decline and fall of a successful familty business founded and nutured by Gerry and Laura Stratton.
It is Laura's fifty-fourth birthday and Gerry has organised a small family dinner at their favourite restaurant.
Domestically, all seems well. Glyn, their eldest son, has patched up his marriage with Stephanie; younger son Adam has a new girlfriend and is deeply in love.
But, as we suspect, all this is surface stuff. For, as the evening proceeds, the play reveals skeletons from the past and a spectre of the future.
