Sobre IBD

Dorothea May’s tranquility is shattered by Kitty Levinson’s announcement of her granddaughter’s forthcoming marriage. As the wedding approaches the scene is set for a highly charged conflict of generations in which the claims of the young are in stark and selfish contrast to the disabling propriety of the old. VISITORS is a vivid exploration of familial responsibilities and the expectations that perpetually threaten to overwhelm them.
