Description

The Conways are gathered to celebrate Kay's twenty-first birthday. As they mark this milestone, each family member harbours their own ambitions and desires: Hazel anticipates marriage, Madge seeks reform, while Carol spreads good cheer. Meanwhile, Robin returns from war with a newfound appreciation for life. At the party, Kay experiences a vision of her family twenty years into the future - one where they are petty, unfulfilled, and stuck in their ways. It is only Kay's calm brother who shares her insight that time is relative, and there may be more to life than what appears on the surface. This poignant play explores the complexities of family relationships, the constraints of societal expectations, and the search for meaning and purpose.
