In 1944, as V2s whizz overhead, two young men meet in a Kent meadow. In 1982, May Appleton, whose son serves in the Falklands, receives the visit that every mother dreads. In 1986, in the Black Forest, a German businesswoman takes into her home a fugitive British Private and his disturbed stepson. Three plays, three encounters. Woven together they reveal an evocative, lyrical and deliciously precise picture of twentieth-century lives.
