Waters of the Moon - by N. C. Hunter
Performed -  Autumn 1977 at Blackfriars Theatre

Synopsis
Waters of the Moon is a gently comic look at class, culture and retirement in the 1950s. In a modest hotel on Dartmoor a group of men and women are seeing out their retirement days in the country. Their tired routines are thrown into disarray with the unexpected arrival of Mr and Mrs Lancaster and their daughter, whose car has broken down on the way to a New Year’s Party. As the storm worsens and time ticks on, the forced pleasantries are soon under strain and the effects of the visitors begin to take their toll.
