Connolly conducts with masterful hand and compassionate grace the voices of a once-hopeful working class couple during WW2 - now blitzed, battered and breaking into a desperate new dawn.
Connolly's comedy of manners weaves together a domestic tableaux of characters - those with old-fashioned manners, tabloid manners, and no manners at all - in a satire on oedipal envy, neighbourly rivalry and the shameless stupidity of our fame-fuelled society.
Eric's double-decker life and triple-tangled lies drive him to a catastrophic collision in Joseph Connolly's wry and ingeniously plotted black comedy.
With vicious flair, Connolly hurtles a cast of thrillingly repulsive characters into a plot of adultery, sadism and revenge, speeding towards a violent climax.
