by Nicola Cavendish

I'll be brief.

A very well crafted play. A team of fine actors, two of them young at heart and at the beginning of their career AND the others, well seasoned, a lifetime spent in the theatre.

Comedy with depth.

The best kind of laughter and there's a bonus. We have the Real Lorna Bingham's granddaughter on our stage.

And Babies.

What miracles they are.

The perfume of their skin.

Their dear little fingers.

David S. Craig has given us the best kind of gift full of Rich Resonance.

If we can all have hope at home, there will be hope for the World.
