THIS play is set in a rest home and revolves around two residents: Cooper, who has voluntarily left his family to avoid the indignity of depending on them, and his friend Aylott.

Both of which, although heading for senility, keep their brains sharp by trying to remember a cricket team from long ago but can never remember the eleventh man.

I must congratulate the director Virginia Harrington on a superb production.

If you haven’t already booked your ticket then do so immediately. This is a play you must not miss. It has everything from pathos to humour.

Each member of the cast played their part with such conviction that at times I was moved to tears, which, as a hardened critic, takes some doing.

I could not really pick out any cast member as they were all excellent and entirely believable but the part of Cooper played by Andrew Whyatt has to be mentioned as he is hardly off the stage and his facial expressions told the story so well.

This was a production of the highest calibre and I have seen professional productions which did not meet the high standard that was set.

The members of the cast were: Cooper (Andrew Whyatt), Aylott (Don Gent), Nurse Wilson (Hayley Tucker), Mrs Baker (Cathy Murray), Julia (Lotte Fletcher-Jonk) and Peter (Stewart Barlow).

Well done everyone, a wonderful evening’s entertainment.
