Publisher's Synopsis

A darkly comic play about the disintegration of a family get-together.

Mike and Julia made sure their children Rob and Stacey had the best of everything when they were growing up. Now they're adults all they want is to be proud parents.

But when they all meet up in a Lake District holiday cottage to celebrate Stacey's birthday, the bid to keep up appearances in front of an unexpected guest soon falls by the wayside as secrets are revealed.

Chloë Moss's play The Gatekeeper was first performed at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in February 2012.
