Swaffham Players' latest production, Love begins at Fifty, is liberally laced with references to this bygone era, although actually set in the 1990s.
It concerns the, up to now, uneventful 28 years of married life of Clive and Anita Debanks.
However all begins to change with the onset of a milestone birthday and a feeling that life is beginning to pass at least one of them by.
