In this award-winning dramatic triptych, three terminally ill
patients dwell in separate cottages on a hospital grounds.
The three are attended and visited by family and close
friends: Agnes and her mother Felicity, estranged further by
the latter's dementia; Brian and Beverly, whose marital
complications are exacerbated by Brian's new live-in lover,
Marc; and Joe and Maggie, unready for the strain of Joe's
impending death and its effect on their teenage son, Stephen.
