‘Try and do something with your life. Be deliberate, you know?’

John is a landlord forced to sell up; Liz is a church organist who can’t get a gig; Mark takes what work he can just to pay the rent. Their tales unfold round the back of a pub hidden deep in the heart of the Hampshire countryside – a heart that doesn’t seem to be beating any more.

Barney Norris delivers a wonderfully poetic play looking at the lost chances and vanished dreams of a young generation.

‘An elegant and moving piece of writing, well crafted, subtle and layered, a play full of ache.’
The Stage
