  £7.00 each Royalties £40pp
A middle-aged writer returns home to his brother who is looking after their dying father. The writer left home at an early age to find fame and fortune while the other brother, who was equally talented musically, stayed to look after the ageing parents. The writer and the brother's wife do not get on and he has thoughtlessly invited his young actress girlfriend to the house. The stress of looking after the old man builds to a climax at the end of the first act when the stay-at-home brother suggests that the only way out of their predicament is to switch off their father's life support. While they are arguing about whether to do such a thing, the decision is taken away from them as the old man dies a natural death. In the second act the writer is made to face up to his own failings as a father.
