| Description |
A domestic, back porch drama….The opening scene introduces three members of a small town family - a retired widower and his two home-keeping daughters. All this is done with deceptive flatness and all-too-convincing banality. Then, almost before we are aware of it, the play has gripped. Hilda, the daughter missing for fifteen years, is coming back home…. |
