Summary
Bristol, 1995. It is Alice's eighty-fifth birthday - an occasion for celebration. But like many family gatherings, it is also an occasion for parading long-held resentments, as her children attempt to persuade her to relinquish her independence and move to a home. But Alice has other plans ... As the battles rage over her head, Alice's consciousness drifts, time shifts, and the past and present merge. The result is a skilful distillation of a family Sunday, comic and ghastly, strange and yet familiar.
