Two elderly gentlemen stroll on to an almost bare terrace. They discuss various subjects — the past, schooldays, climate, the sea, moustaches, the war, families, etc., etc. It is not until the following scene when we meet two women that we realize we are actually in the grounds of a mental hospital, and that these people are patients. Although with no plot at all in the conventional sense and sparse dialogue, by the end of the afternoon we have been moved to compassion and respect. First performed in 1970 starring Ralph Richardson and John Gielgud.
