It is 1979 and Esme Allen is a well-known West End actress at just the moment when the West End is ceasing to offer actors a regular way of life.
The visit of her young daughter, Amy, with a new boyfriend sets off a series of events which only find their shape sixteen years later.
David Hare mixes love, death and the theatre in a heady and original way in this play which starred Judi Dench, and was acclaimed in London and Broadway.
