The Parliament at The Cecil Sharp House, Camden Fringe.
In the wake of their Uncle Goliath’s death, two cousins, Devon and Jasper return to the Cornish farmhouse where they spent their childhood summers, now accompanied by the local girls who spent those summers with them. Devon has settled for Moira. Jasper has somehow caught Fenn. The circumstances are only made worse by the revelation that their gentle memories of Goliath have been proved false, that he was a brutish man responsible for decades of animal cruelty and malpractice right under their noses. Drawn together again after twenty years of distance, the four try to make sense of who they have all become, while the past, and the truth of their rose-tinted summers becomes unravelled.
