Cartwright's play is an essay in the dynamics of relationship cunningly disguised as a play, and his characters cover the gamut of emotions. From the peace and contentment of Fred and Alice, with their inter-dependent relationship, to the destructive nature of Roy and Lesley and the overarching and deeply moving story of the Landlord and Landlady, Cartwright takes us on a fairground ride of a journey into the lives of real people.
