David loves his wife, Gillian. Unfortunately, she died two years ago. David has not dealt with his grief and continues his relationship with Gillian during talks with her “ghost” on the beach at night. His daughter Rachel, sister in law Esther and her husband Paul come for a visit and bring an unexpected guest – a woman who might be interested in David, on the very weekend that would have been Gilllian’s 37th birthday. The play is an examination of grief, love and moving on. It is a bittersweet comedy.
Several of the characters have very specific ages that are clearly expressed in the script. So actors who look stage age appropriate is very important.
