In this play, considered the best of Sir Alan Ayckbourn’s landmark triology, The Norman Conquests …Annie is unhappy, single, not getting any younger, and stuck in the family house caring for her invalid mother. She’s planning to get away for the weekend. Sarah is unhappy, married with two children – no, THREE including her husband Reg (Annie’s brother). She’s got a house to run, and a she’s little overwhelmed by what she discovers when she arrives to help Annie get away for the weekend. Tom is, well… Tom. He’s the local veterinarian and the obvious choice for Annie’s affections. Unfortunately, Tom has difficulty grasping the obvious. And Annie is obviously not spending the weekend with Tom. Ruth is Annie and Reg’s sister. Unhappy, too? Well, she is a very successful financial analyst, and she is married to Norman. And Norman? Look, Norman just wants to see the women in his life happy. Is that so wrong?
