Gerald recently lost his wife of many years. Amy was the light of his life, almost heaven-sent.
It’s tricky thinking about life without her but he’s trying his best to put a brave face on things, accepting help from fussy neighbours and muddling along as best he can.
Then a mysterious stranger turns up at Amy’s wake. He seems like a nice enough chap, washing the dishes and offering to do a shop for Gerald, but is he all that he appears?
Alan Ayckbourn’s latest play digs deep into one of life’s greatest mysteries – what makes someone a good person? And in this day and age, can you ever really be sure…?
