Description
A verse drama by Kathleen Jamie, based on the poem by Philip Larkin.
On a Whit weekend at the end of the 50s, Philip Larkin caught a train from Hull to LONDON which was boarded by a number of newlywed couples.
He turned his observations about them into one of his best-known poems.
Forty years later, three of the couples and the daughter of the fourth look back on that day.
