Clare discovers that Helen’s son Gareth is not spending his gap year in Borneo, Brian is amazed that Clare has remembered Valentine’s Day and Ray’s colleagues celebrate his civil partnership. Sally Phillips stars as Clare, with Alex Lowe as Brian, Gemma Craven as Helen and Nina Conti as Megan. ‘Beautifully observed performances... an impressive cast and some genuinely funny writing make this a must.’ – The Stage.
