Twins Iola and Anest remain devoted to each other. Ageing fast, and with the time they have together more fragile by the day, they arrive at a desperate decision. Word of this reaches Anest's daughter Menna, who rushes to her long abandoned childhood home where her own ideas of love and compromise are tested to the limit.
Tim Price's new play is a heart-breaking, humorous tale of love and family set against the mythical backdrop of North Pembrokeshire.
A triumvirate of talent at Trafalgar Studios make this remarkable play poignant, funny and chilling. Anna Calder-Marshall, Anna Carteret and Imogen Stubbs deliver leading-lady performances as they negotiate life and death in a claustrophobic production, directed by Hamish Pirie. The subject of euthanasia is a tricky one, but in the hands of writer Tim Price and delivered with touchingly real performances Salt Root and Roe makes one feel the end – in every respect – is just. Believable, poetic, allusive and human. Highly recommended.
