But then your grown-up, cosmopolitan children suddenly remember that they have “some parents” and “a home.” At the last minute, they may want to take care of you, but they certainly don’t bring any peace of mind. Or, even in old age, life remains full of surprises and twists. That’s exactly the story of retired police officer Jack and his wife Florence, who, until recently, thought that absolutely nothing could catch them off guard in their home in the English countryside.

A bittersweet comedy from 2023, full of sharp English humor, about family, memory, and love, which shows with a sense of perspective that even when life starts to get complicated, laughter remains the best solution. Pilsen audiences will see this latest play by renowned British playwright Richard Bean in its Czech premiere.
