Mr & Mrs Max Irving request the company of:Mrs Fran Friedman, mourning her empty nest, the galloping years and a disastrous haircut.Mr Saul Friedman, runner of marathons, and increasingly distant husband.The two Misses Friedman, Pip and Katy, one pining over the man she can t have, the other trying to shake off the man she no longer wants.At the marriage of their son James, forbidden object of troubling desire. For thirty-six hours of secrets and lies, painted-on-smiles and potential ruin. And drinks, plenty of drinks.There s nothing like a wedding for stirring up the past. As Fran negotiates her way from Saturday morning to Sunday evening she is forced to confront things she s long thought buried, and to make decisions about the future that will have far-reaching consequences for them all.
