A play in two acts based on an idea by Pierre Spoerri.
Living together versus getting married; staying married versus getting divorced; cover-up versus reality; involvement versus commitment. With humour and compassion Hugh Steadman William's play deals with questions on the mind of every parent and every young adult.
Geoffrey Westwood is an osteopath with a skeleton in his cupboard - for demonstration purposes, as he is quick to point out. But is it the only one? Cynthia Westwood, artistic, elegant, also has a past, and a present, she would rather nobody knew about. On the other hand, their daughter Sally and her live-in boyfriend Mike have a secret they don't feel at all guilty about, however much the Westwood parents think they should.
When, during a rare weekend together at home, the skeletons tumble out one by one all hell breaks loose. But then it might just be the beginning of heaven too.
Hugh Steadman Williams wrote a dozen plays for the stage, radio and video. He was Artistic Director of the Westminster Theatre, and was a Moral Re-Armament worker. He lived in Surrey with his artist wife. They had two sons.
