From the BBC's television studios in Scotland

Although this play is set in a guest-house near Culloden in Inverness-shire, its themes are not purely Scottish. It is a play about people: about love and marriage and the problem of compatibility, both intellectual and physical. It centres round Mary and Charlie Paden, who met during the uncertain days of war and married in the first days of peace, only to find that some of the early romance and compatibility now eludes them.

When the play opens, it is late autumn, and the Padens' guest-house is about to close for the winter season. Unexpectedly two visitors arrive bringing with them problems of their own-problems which Mary and Charlie Paden cannot ignore....
