The Sociable Plover

Twentieth Anniversary Revival - Medium Rare Productions

Presented by Arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd

Nothing and nobody will stop Roy Tunt from spotting his wild birds and today, a stormy December morning on England's desolate east coast, he pursues a very special mission. With one more tick in his dog-eared notebook, Roy will have recorded all 567 species on the British List. The prevailing conditions are ideal and the time is perfect to welcome an elusive vagrant from the Asian Steppe, the rare and beautiful Sociable Plover.

Roy sequesters himself away in a bird-spotter's hide on a stretch of flooded marshland. With a packed lunch and a framed photograph of his ex-wife for company, he watches and waits. But who is the tall, dark and handsome stranger battling his way through the flood waters towards him? All will be revealed inside the hide...
