...Separate Islands. He goes into the more substantial second play, Landscape. Here an estranged servant couple (David Waller, Peggy Ashcroft) are living in a now empty house in the country, measuring out their middle age in walks to the pub and vigils by the window. Their respective emotional landscapes-again, sketched in interlocking monologues-are as refracted as John Bury's setting, which strands them on separate domestic islands in the same wide kitchen...
