Reviews
On Apr 21 2011, EarlEDoors said:
First staged in 1960 this is the third part of the Wesker Trilogy about a family of left-wing Jewish intellectuals (Chicken Soup with Barley, Roots) and is set in 1946 Norfolk. Dave and Ada Simmonds move into a house in the middle of a Norfolk field where there is no gas electricity or running water. Assisted by Ada's brother Ronny and her mother Sarah, the couple find that they are constantly having to explain their disillusionment with city life. When Dave's old army pal Libby Dobson visits they find him alienated and cynical and later that same evening Dave is sacked from his farming job for 'inadvertently' stealing some linoleum. However he proceeds with his plan to produce quality hand made furniture and sets up a workshop with some success. They raise a family but by 1959 economic necessity forces them to move back to London where they find that Ronnie feels more of a sense of failure than they do.
