Overview

On a midsummer's night in Manchester, Tony and Ruth meet at a party in a shabby terrace house. On the floor above, Don and Edie, married fifty years, are having a party of their own: only gradually does its purpose become apparent. As the night progresses, love is in the air: the start for Tony and Ruth, the end for Edie and terminally ill Don who will take death, as they have life, together.
