Love is what many crave but few achieve. Crystal's jaded past and Eddies non-existent
future collide headlong into perilous passion as the
star crossed romancers and wannabe lovers have a right
carry on in their seaside palace of sin.
Eddie is a romantic, lonely salesman on the cutting
edge of the stationary sales world. He asks crystal,
a croupier, out for a good time, a weekend away in a
seaside B & B. But he's no Sean Connery, even with
the lights out! And would Eddies mum really approve
of Crystal's dodgy dress sense.
"This is a
bitter sweet comedy. As they get to know one another,
it emerges that he lives with his mother and she has
a dead end marriage and fantasizes about Sean Connery.
Expertly directed by Simon Stallworthy, they take us
on a psychological roller coaster ride, now up, now
down…nothing much happens - and yet everything happens.
This is superb small scale theatre which provokes big
scale thoughts about human relationships."
