About the play
This play tells of the loves, fears and joys of a Newcastle family during World War Two.
Helen is stoical, self-effacing and walks with a limp; her grandfather Andie recruits mourners to attend the burial of his dog; her devout Catholic mother frets about the local priest’s health; her father serenades an unwilling audience with popular songs; and younger sister Joyce dithers over a marriage proposal.
They all try their best to get on with their lives while the bombs fall around them.
