insecurity, and desire experienced by normal people and his characters exhibit very recognizable traits and dilemmas.<br \/>The confusions and interactions happen at the home of\u00a0 sibling, Annie, who cares for her invalid mother.\u00a0 She is single but is friends with her neighbour, Tom, a vet.\u00a0 An unspoken attraction exists between the two but Tom\u2019s inability to express his emotions further than tending to Annie\u2019s cat leads to a simmering frustration on her part. Her brother, Reg and sister-in-law, Sarah, are coming to stay and take over Mother\u2019s care so that Annie can go away for a break.\u00a0 However, no one is aware that Annie\u2019s brother-in-law, Norman, is the one who is whisking her away.\u00a0 Certainly not\u00a0 his wife, Ruth, who is also Annie\u2019s sister. What a tangle!

Multiple lovers ( many when she was married to Annie\u2019s father ) but Annie has the opposite lifestyle. She is isolated and lonely. Her only companion is the next door neighbour \u201cTom\u201d, the local veterinarian. A kind person with a way with animals \u2013 but not humans. He visits on a regular basis with the excuse of tending to the family cat\u00a0 .( which spends Act 1 up a tree )<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Both \u201cAnnie \u201d and \u201cTom\u201d yearn for a relationship ( maybe with each other ? ) but both are too shy to do much about it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Entering the mix are Annie\u2019s older brother \u201cReg\u201d and his wife \u201cSarah\u201d. They have come down to Sussex to ostensibly allow \u201cAnnie\u201d\u00a0 a holiday away ( alone ).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u201cAnnie\u201d doesn\u2019t plan to be alone; she and her brother-in-law \u201cNorman\u201d ( her sister\u201dRuth\u2019s\u201d husband ) have been texting and emailing for months arranging a weekend\u00a0 away together. \u201cNorman\u201d ruins the plans by showing up at the family home. This alerts \u201cAnnie\u2019s \u201d sister in-law \u201cSarah\u201d that something is going on. She easily\u00a0 makes \u201cAnnie \u201d realize\u00a0 a weekend away in a hotel with her\u00a0 brother-in-law is not a good idea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">In his despair\u00a0 at losing his \u201cdirty weekend ,\u201d\u201dNorman gets\u00a0 royally drunk and then\u00a0 \u201ctries it on\u201d with \u201cSarah\u201d .<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u201cSarah\u201d further interferes by immediately texting\u201d Norman\u2019s \u201d wife \u201cRuth\u201d who up to now we have heard about, but have never seen.She , too, arrives down at the country house.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Things become more confused and complicated as \u201cTom\u201d\u00a0 becomes convinced that \u201cRuth\u201d is \u201ccarrying a torch \u201d for him. When \u201cTom\u201d divulges this to \u201cAnnie\u201d it precipitates a\u00a0 fight between them which threatens any possible relationship.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft eplus-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1015508\" title=\"VBP_5053 - metrotheatre.com\" src=\"https:\/\/metrotheatre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/VBP_5053-113x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">How will it all end ? Will \u201cAnnie\u201d go off again with \u201cNorman\u201d? Will she patch things up with \u201cTom\u201d ? Will \u201cSarah\u201d and \u201cReg\u201d ever stop arguing ?
