The first collection of plays from the multi-award-winning
playwright and novelist. Introduction by Alice Hamilton. Visitors:
On a farmhouse at the edge of Salisbury Plain, a family is falling
apart. Stephen can’t afford to put his mother into care; Arthur
can’t afford to stop working and look after his wife. When a
young stranger with blue hair moves in to care for Edie as her mind
unravels, the family are forced to ask: are we living the way we
wanted? Visitors is a haunting, beautiful look at the way our lives
slip past us. Eventide: A love song, an elegy, a celebration:
Eventide tells the story of three people whose worlds are
disappearing. 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. While We’re Here: Eddie and
Carol were lovers once, but their lives went in different
directions. Now they meet again on a park bench in a town full of
memories, and find something still burns between them. Nightfall:
On a farm outside Winchester, Ryan struggles to make a living off
the land. His sister Lou has returned home after the death of their
father to support Jenny, their formidable mother. Not so long ago,
when a neighbour’s Labrador strayed onto the farm, their dad
reached for his shotgun. Now, when Lou’s boyfriend Pete
reappears, flush with money from his job at an oil refinery, Jenny
fights to hold her children to the life she planned for them.
