eccentric customers and its warring landlord and wife won the

Manchester Evening News Best New Play award in 1989 and has been in

production somewhere around the world ever since.

humour. During the course of one evening in a particular pub,

assorted customers pass in and out, including the old woman dropping

in for a drink at the end of a gruelling day in which she has coped

with her incontinent husband, the little old man who still talks to

his dead wife and the hilarious Alice and Fred who have 'never been

the same since Elvis died'. Meanwhile, the landlord and landlady are

engaged in an emotionally charged power struggle which coincides with

the anniversary of an event neither wishes to discuss.

All the characters are linked by the bar, but also by their battles

with love and conflicts between public facade and private emotion.

This is an hilarious and extremely moving play guaranteed to keep its

audience rapt until closing time!
