Description

The Strattons are big in transport and leisure centres; but they have spawned two hopeless sons, and family and then the recession hits them. Gerry Stratton has arranged a party at the family's favourite restaurant to celebrate his wife's 54th birthday; roving son Glyn has patched up his failing marriage with Stephanie to please his parents, and home-boy Adam has brought along his new girl, Maureen. The rest of the play is set around different tables in this same Mediterranean retreat.

Description

Time of My Life charts the decline and fall of a successful family business founded and nurtured by Gerry and Laura Stratton. It is Laura's fifty-fourth birthday and Gerry has organized a small family dinner at their favourite restaurant. Domestically, all seems well. Glyn, their eldest son, has patched up his marriage with Stephanie; younger son Adam has a new girlfriend and is deeply in love. But, as we suspect, all this is surface stuff. For, as their evening proceeds, the play reveals skeletons from the past and a spectre of the future.
