The Late Middle Classes (1998)

Simon Gray

Play script

English

'England in the 1950s. Celia, desperate for distraction, fills her time with tennis and gin; Charles, a pathologist, is buried in his work among the living and the dead; and their gifted son, Holly, is having his first lessons on the piano and in life. The Late Middle Classes is a darkly funny study of the conflict between emotional needs and family restraints.' (Simon Gray website)
