A big, dark family drama by David Eldridge.

Len is dying and his family are saying their goodbyes and preparing a wake. There are rifts and feuds, plans and preparations and the inheritance money is stirring up quite a bit of tension.

This look at our most pained rituals comes from a writer known for tearing up gloomy family plays and attacking honesty with all his might.
