ONE FOR THE ROAD
By Willy Russell
The Nonentities - Main House (A)
This wickedly observant comedy by the author of Educating Rita explores the quiet desperation and simmering tensions beneath suburban respectability.
Set in a seemingly ordinary English neighbourhood, the story follows Dennis as he grapples with a looming midlife crisis, nosey neighbours, and the relentless monotony of routine.
Reaching the breaking point on his 35th birthday party he packs a rucksack to make his escape, but everyone wants to accompany him and he sinks down in front of the television, defeated. But there's always next year ... and the year after.
With biting wit and a keen eye for the absurdities of modern life, Russell explores how far people will go to preserve appearances- even as their personal lives unravel.
