Six lonely people, six separate lives all searching for a connection – yet all strangely linked by circumstance. Does Nicola still love Dan? Will Dan stop his endless pub-going days and look for a job? Can Stewart, Nicola’s real estate agent, be on the verge of an office romance with Charlotte? What on earth is Charlotte up to on her 2nd shift job with her bedridden patient? Will Imogen, Stewart’s middle-aged sister, ever find true love in the personal ads? Does Ambrose, Dan’s bartender, have a secret life?
In The New York Times, Charles Isherwood observed, “A comedy about six Londoners leading lives of quiet desperation, it is rueful, funny, touching and altogether wonderful.” In The Guardian, Michael Billington noted, “One of his recent best... Ayckbourn has not lost his rare, undervalued gift for comic compassion.”
Approximate running time: 1 hour and 45 minutes.
