In the middle of the Lake District, Mike and Julia meet up with their now adult children, Rob and Stacey, to celebrate Stacey's birthday. An unexpected guest drives a desperate bid to keep up appearances, but it seems no-one has been telling the whole truth
Acutely observed and painfully funny, The Gatekeeper brilliantly captures the more maddening aspects of family life.
Chlöe Moss has a natural ear for sparkling dialogue and uses it to examine the endless conversations and annoying idiosyncrasies that drive us all up the wall. A darkly comic play from one of Britain's best young writers.
