To Have & To Hold
Richard Bean

A comedy about family, friction and the ties that never quite loosen.

Love, loyalty and laughter collide in To Have & To Hold — a brilliantly sharp comedy from Richard Bean, author of One Man, Two Guvnors.
After sixty years of marriage, Jack and Florence are contentedly living out their retirement in a quiet village in Yorkshire. Although deeply committed and loving, they've refined bickering into an art form. However, that life is about to undergo an upheaval. Their grown-up children arrive, bringing with them concerns, secrets and expectations. Old tensions stir, cultures clash and the rhythms of home are disrupted as buried truths begin to emerge.
Full of razor-sharp dialogue, larger-than-life characters and irresistible wit, To Have & To Hold is an hilarious and heartfelt celebration of resilience, romance and the messy business of getting old.
Warm, witty and wonderfully entertaining — this is a comedy with heart, soul and rhubarb.
