Only love brings happiness into this earth, the poetical love of youth, sweeping away the sorrows of the world. As guests assemble at a country house for the staging of an avant-garde open air play, artistic temperaments ignite a more entertaining drama behind the scenes, with romantic jealousies, self-doubt and the ruthless pursuit of happiness confusing lives, loves and literature.
Peter Gill's plays include The Sleeper's Den, Over Gardens Out and Small Change, all first produced at the Royal Court Theatre, and Mean Tears / In the Blue, Kick for Touch and Cardiff East, all produced at the RNT. In 1964 he became Assistant Director at the Royal Court Theatre, and has since directed over 80 productions in the UK, Europe and North America. He founded the RNT Studio in 1984, since when he has been an Associate Director of the RNT.
