With Barrie Ingham as Charlie, Julian Glover as James, Mary Chester as The Barmaid
(Barrie Ingham is a member of The Royal Shakespeare Company)

James, the more conventional of two brothers, comes searching for Charlie, his elder brother, who has deserted his home, his wife, and the family business. Charlie, now forty, has stood back and taken stock of his life, and decided it has all been futile. James has never had such doubts, and finding Charlie in a roadside hotel, tries to persuade him to return.
