This triple award-winning play is Ida’s story. It is her eighty-sixth birthday - a milestone the pain-racked old lady would rather not have reached. Her family have gathered to cheerfully celebrate and patronise her with a birthday tea. Into their midst comes the prodigal daughter Susan, returning after a twenty-five year absence. She discovers that her mother is now given to only brief moments of lucidity and no longer remembers her!
This is a play that deals with euthanasia under ordinary and painful circumstances and how the family manage with pacts, rivalries, antagonism, inadequacies and English mores at their hilarious, moving and provoking worst. It engages the heart, the mind and above all the conscience.
