A new play by Caryl Brahms
Music by Geoffrey Wright
Buster Furnival is a genius who has come to the rain-swept fishing village of Saltings to find peace and quiet. His wife, Heidi, and her school chum, the Duchess of Eastmoreland, have different ideas. They organise a festival of Buster's music. The locals, who normally fish and feud in a happy state of gloom, are a little put about. But all things pass, even feuds and festivals.
