AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Three generations settle their earthly matters before the end. Everyman guides them, and us, through the final stages of existence, helps say goodbye with dignity before the curtains are drawn on the old world they knew. Grandparents rebel entering retirement home, their family want to con the pension, and all give “solo pieces” - memories of the best and the worst… and they dance, only dancing spares the deadly stress of the end of the world, which they are so keen to witness.'
