Pensioners? Senior citizens? Coffin dodgers? Call them what you like. In Peter Briffa's darkly comic play, Ken, Jim and Barbara certainly do. But at their age maybe they're entitled. At the funeral of an old friend, in the serene Devon countryside a surprise visitor arrives, opening up a hornets' nest and confronting everyone with memories that they would rather forget.
