14 - 21 June 2008

Set in the garden of Alan and Claire’s suburban house.

Alan attempts to tend his vegetable plot, his peace of mind lumbered not only with his impending fiftieth birthday but also because he harbours suspicions about Claire’s fidelity. The sanctity of his garden initially provides some respite though this is soon further upset by the ongoing squabbles of their next door neighbours, Jill and Dave.

When a secret message falls into the wrong hands, a chain reaction of events begins which takes in not only the two couples but also two other friends, the well meaning but inept Derek and Sarah, recently separated from her husband.

Alan’s concerns are temporarily eased by a surprise birthday party, but the evening’s events only serve to throw the other relationships into turmoil and sow seeds of doubt for everybody!
