4. FOR GRANDMA
Dr. David Whittet (Herts)
The complex relationship between young and old is seen through the eyes of grandma (Winifred Butler) and her grandson (Paul Ambrose Hogan). The performances are so convincing that it is hard to believe that these two players are from a local theatre group and not real people playing themselves.
