Synopsis The action of the play takes place in the Crompton home, Bolton, Lancashire. The subtle comedy drama features the working class family experiencing ups and downs which will resonate with anyone who has ever had a battle with their parents or finds themselves looking at younger generations with disbelief. Rafe Crompton tries to hold his family together by being a strict disciplinarian. He wants to retain old-fashioned values while his children are intent on rebellion aware that they are growing up and the tide is turning. Of all things it is a plate of herring that finally tips the balance and 'Dad' finds he has to re-evaluate his position in the Crompton household to bring back some peace and calm.
