The play is interesting, and moving, initially, we see a daughter, returning home and trying to help her father, coming to terms with the loss of his wife, her mother . . . or do we?
André and Madeleine have been a couple for 5 years, and have two adult daughters, but what is the loss they are dealing with? The sands are shifting underfoot, and the play explores the issues of grief, and loss, and dementia without ever naming any of them.
It is very, very well done.(And one gets to hear Eileen Atkins say 'Fuck' , which carries it's own joy!)
It's strange, but thought provoking, and despite dealing with loss and grief has its entertaining moments!
The play is in Bath before it opens in the West End. It's well worth seeing if you have the chance (and it's short -about 90 minutes with no interval)
