  Blurb - Stella's daughter comes home to visit, bringing her new husband and a few surprises. Stars Paula Wilcox and Alice Hart.

Dear D du M, you are such a mistress of the subtly twisted.

 

Cherry, a young British girl in the immediate postwar years, brings home an alcoholic and brilliant painter, Evan, as her new husband.

Her mother, a widow and the heroine of the play, is called Stella, and Stella falls deeply in love with her daughter's new husband, who reciprocates while painting her portrait.
