Details

On a beach in Greece, a 64 year old woman, her mother and a naked young man - asleep. Enid and her mother, Charlotte, have travelled to Greece to visit the grave of her father, killed in World War I. Enid hopes for insight into the father she never knew and to dissuade Charlotte from remarrying the elderly but ardent lover who has followed them there. Louise Page's magical play, haunted by the beauty of Greece and the long shadows of war, was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, where it won the 1982 George Devine Award.
