The play is a wryly observed comic drama on family life. School breaks up and the annual summer holiday begins. 'Where to go?' presents the first problem, followed by the interminable car journey, arrival, a sortie to the beach and a minefield of disasters which the family encounter along the way.

Basically it's a family's 'typically British' annual summer holiday, set roughly in the early 70s when every family went off on a seaside holiday (every year!) The play progresses through various short scenes depicting the car journey, the roadside picnic, getting there (eventually), the hotel, the beach, the talent contest, the holiday romance... the list goes on.

Everyone will be able to identify with something in the play.
