About the Event

All very ordinary people, with ordinary lives, who come together at this one park bench

It’s just an ordinary park bench, but it means the world to Charles, who used to regularly rest on it with his late wife Rose.  

Charles still feels Rose’s presence when he’s there and chats to her in his head as if she’s still beside him. 

Then along comes Ian, stressed and harassed in his lunch hour, he tells Charles his troubles and even gets him to chat to his wife Linda on the phone – we meet Linda later in the play. 

Next comes young, single mother Stacey pushing a pram and desperately trying to get her baby to sleep, and finally a married couple, Tina and Colin, who are geocaching, with rucksacks on their backs full of flasks of tea and egg sandwiches.

All very ordinary people, with ordinary lives, who come together at this one park bench.
