It's Monday morning in Mrs Roberts 's dental surgery in Swansea. As cavities are filled, gums numbed and molars polished, one patient is nervous and grieving, another preoccupied with her own fertility, while the receptionist waits for the call that could change her life. As they observe each other across the waiting room, appearances prove deceptive in this gentle, melancholic comedy about human frailty. Written by Stevie Davies.
