Premise
"Sea Piece takes us not to a ship, but to a middle-grade guest house at a coastal resort in England; the chief characters are a down-and-out actor and an engaged young woman  who has just won £100 in a  competition. From these not very unusual materials, Catherine Shepherd builds a drama  which has observation behind every speech, and which suddenly rivets one with its decision to treat an apparently romantic situation with earnest realism."
