Solitary woman whose only confidant is her

dead mother is confronted by the shades of

her dead father and brother.



Adapted from a play staged in 1998 at the King's

Head, Islington. It featured Ronnie Barker's

daughter. To avoid the charge of nepotism the

play was originally credited to Richard Mervyn.



Something of a departure for Ronnie Barker,

better known for his double act with Ronnie

Corbett, and old lag Fletcher in 'Porridge'.
