Across twenty years, the Jewish immigrant Kahn family in London faces the decline of its communist ideals alongside its own disintegration. Parents Sarah and Harry and their children Ada and Ronnie respond differently to the Second World War, Stalinism and the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
Pip Thompson, a privately educated socialist conscripted into the RAF, wants to remain an ordinary airman. Officers try to pressure him into accepting a commission, exposing the class system's force in assigning people their expected roles.
Ada and Dave Simmonds move with Ada's brother Ronnie and mother Sarah to rural Norfolk to pursue an off-grid life shaped by socialist ideals, but difficulties lead the family back to London after thirteen years.
Beatie Bryant returns to her Norfolk home and visits her family, hoping to share the thoughts of her unseen liberal boyfriend Ronnie. As she begins to express herself and the struggles of her community, Ronnie's letter announces he is leaving her.
A group of friends from working-class backgrounds have built a successful chain of interior-design shops, but feel their work has failed to reach the people they hoped to serve. As they gather around Esther, who is dying of leukaemia, they reassess their ideals, achievements and mortality.
The staff of a café kitchen work through a busy morning.
Wesker’s two-act reworking centers on Shylock as a good man and close friend of Antonio. They share a love of knowledge and opposition to their community’s antisemitism; Shylock’s demand for a pound of flesh begins as a jest he cannot retract, and both men are relieved when the court denies it.
