Synopsis

The action takes place outside the house and in the garage of Dennis and Vera's home.
This is one of Ayckbourn's blackest but most hilarious comedies It depicts Dennis who spends almost the whole of his spare time messing about in his untidy garage, blandly indifferent to the fact that his wife, Vera, is being driven to distraction and beyond by his possessive and jealous mother, Marjorie, who is slowly undermining her both physically and mentally.
Each scene occurs on the birthday of one of the characters, but the comedy becomes increasingly sharp and ironic as the action darkens.
