This is the story of Penelope Keeling and her family and the passion and heartbreak that have held them together for three generations. The location of the play moves between time and place beginning with Penelope’s return to her Cotswold home from hospital in the present day. The story continues through the advent of three children and Penelope’s desertion by her husband, with the pull of Cornwall ever present.
