The Old Country

There is nothing that Civil Servant Hilary and his wife Bron wanted more than to have a house in the country where they could settle down to a comfortable retirement.

But when the dream becomes reality, it isn’t quite what either of them expected or desired. It is somehow too English to be true and when his sister and her newly knighted husband come to visit, old wounds are reopened and Hilary is forced to face-up to the failings of his past.

A story of betrayal and retribution from one of the most respected playwrights of this old country, Alan Bennett.
