Moira Buffini romps through the centuries from the Romans to the present day, charting the changing fortunes of place, time and people at 29 Trick Street. Buffini brings her usual lightness of touch to this incisive, funny and sharply observed play about changing social, economic and sexual mores.

Together ten chronologically organised scenes offer a vision of love and sex in England across two millennia, from classical times to the present day via the Renaissance and the Swinging 60's.
