United Incandescent

Croydon, 1997. Henrik and Matthew haven't gone round with a damp cloth for several years. Jessica is about to become a Blair babe. Then an unexpected ring at the doorbell precipitates a chain-reaction of discoveries and confessions. For idealistic Conmunist Henrik, his housebound son Matthew and his politically ambitious daughter Jessica, a lifetime built on secrets and half-truths is about to come tumbling down. The events of the last forty years from Henrik's days packing light-bulbs on the factory floor of United Incandescent, to the fall of the Wall, to the arrival of the mysterious Anna from Budapest all conspire to tell a different story from the one that Henrik has carefully constructed in his memoirs...with extraordianry consequences for his children. A passionate, quirky and epic family drama about love, loyalty, lies and the Left.
