Matriarch Fran (played with brusque charm by Lara Macgregor) is quickly on the phone to all the other siblings. Despite Rosie’s protests of not being ready to talk about it, Fran tells each of them to come over, “something’s happened”. The feeling of being known by someone so well, while they don’t listen to a word you say may remind some of their own parent/child relationships.
Mark (beautifully played by Jthn Morgan) has recently broken up with his girlfriend of three years, Pip (an emotive Heather O’Carroll) is a career woman married with two kids and Ben (sharply performed by Daniel Watterson) is a fast paced, successful young man.
