London – Crouch End – the house is split between personalities/families – though indubitably the same family fills the place without question – but rifts appear, tension, examinations and, perhaps most awkwardly for the middle class, compromises – two sisters share the house with their respective husbands, two young boys and the eldest sister’s youngest daughter, now eighteen, working in the city – on a daily basis there are tiffs and accusations, occasionally these spill over into acrimonious nights – what happens though if into this an invited stranger enters: let’s say a young man in his early thirties, who has been injured whilst working with the younger sister, blinded temporarily in one eye? What might that reveal? Or more interestingly, what might the family try to hide? –
