Description

Two brothers were equally talented. One grew up to be a successful writer and the other, a musician, stayed at home to look after his ageing parents. Both married but the writer is now divorced and has a young actress girlfriend. The play deals with the period when the writer returns home from abroad after a message that his father is seriously ill. In the first scenes the writer tries unsuccessfully to bring his father out of his persistent vegetative state and there is a confrontation between him and the stay-at-home brother who suggests that euthanasia might be their only way out. The coup de grace isn’t necessary as the father dies at the end of the first act while the brothers are arguing. In the second act we see the clearance of the house and all its memories; greedy neighbours who want the deceased’s possessions for nothing; an opportunity for the stay-at-home brother to get his music published (which he turns down) and finally the writer is made to face up to his own fatherhood in an emotional but silent final embrace between him and the teenage son that he hasn’t seen for years.
