Synopsis:
The play centres on a British couple who are struggling to save their marriage whilst trying to raise their only child, a small girl with cerebral palsy. She uses a wheelchair and is unable to communicate. Caring for her has occupied nearly every moment of her parents' lives since her birth, and this has taken a heavy toll on their marriage.
Sheila, her mother, gives Josephine as much of a life as she can while Bri wants the child institutionalised and has begun to entertain chilling fantasies of killing himself and Josephine.
Peter Nichols' dark comedy has enjoyed two Broadway revivals most recently in 2003 starring Eddie Izzard and Victoria Hamilton.
