Description

Set in the late 19th century at an old-fashioned family firm, the fictitious D.W.B. & Sons. Old D.W.B. has been dying for three years and his sons, the snivelling Barnsley and the prodigal Vince, are up to their ears in dubious business deals. Meanwhile, the employees have nightmares of tiny pensions. On a grey morning in the final days before the firm is to close, the staff and management find themselves stranded in the third floor coffee room as they wait for old D.W.B. to give his final goodbye.
