Written by playwright, Ernest Thompson as his first full length work, the play this year marks its 30th anniversary since it was first performed in 1979 and the Players are looking forward to reproducing it on the stage of Knaresborough's Frazer Theatre.

Set in New England, the play centres on Ethel and Norman Thayer, their daughter, Chelsea, and her new lover, Bill and his son, Billy.

The three generations collide in a play that looks at typical issues that could affect any family including a strained father-daughter relationship and "grandfatherly" bonding with an upstart teenager.

However, the soul of the play lies in the feisty, yet sweet interaction between Norman and Ethel played by regular Players, David Crosthwaite and Brenda Anderson.

Member, Kathryn Leigh makes her debut directing for the Players with this quiet and sensitive offering.

You can see the play from May 13 to 16 nightly at 7.30pm.

Tickets priced £7 and £5 are available now from Wild Orchid, High Street, Knaresborough on 01423 861232.
