3 generations of men from the same family meet in an old people's home. They are not blood relatives - Horsea became a stepfather after Quashie's father death. The two men never had a real relationship - and the only reason for the son visiting is that he wants the house - which apparently had been promised at some point. But the old man suffers from dementia so the meetings do not go exactly as planned - when they happen at all. And while Quashie tries to push the documents he really needs signed, the stepfather wants to play dominoes. And that's where most of the action happens - across a few games of dominoes in a few days, while Quashie gets more and more desperate (because he needs to go back home and the old man does not seem to want to give him what he wants.

And the third generation? Quashie's son Rico who seems to be caught in between the two men until the day when his features remind the old man of his old friend - the man who died and allowed Horsea to have a family - and in his confusion he decides that he sees a ghost. And past secrets are finally revealed.

There was no real surprise in where this play ends up -- except maybe for the very end but even that is logical. It is a tale of redemption and the very last act of the old man, before he dies, looks almost to be calculated to try to pay for what he did earlier. Or maybe he had a reason for all he did and that was just the last action of a good man.

It is not a terribly original play but the actors made it work and their performance kept me listening. ( )
