A new play by Geoffrey Thomas.
Leonard Sachs's Players' Theatre production

If you like 'family' plays this is just the show for you. Should the breadwinner be content with a safe but badly paid job or should he take a risk? Should a wife work, and if she does what can a husband do when he earns less than she? These are old problems, but playwright Geoffrey Thomas has planted them on real true-to-life people.
