Wild Orchids

Synopsis:
From 'Time Out': 'A bright gem of a play concerning the everyday incest of country folk. Set on a Yorkshire farm, the plot is a brilliant mosaic. After a personal Chapaquidick with his other woman, gregarious Dad realizes that his daughter Beth is the best night's work he ever did and leaves Mum to brood over her knitting. the dialogue is brutally funny, brilliantly perceptive. This tough, witty comedy delves around relationships where Freud and the IBA would fear to tread.'
