  Time of My Life charts the decline and fall of a successful family business founded and nurtured by Gerry and Laura Stratton. It is Laura's fifty-fourth birthday and Gerry has organized a small family dinner at their favourite restaurant. Domestically, all seems well. Glyn, their eldest son, has patched up his marriage with Stephanie; younger son Adam has a new girlfriend and is deeply in love. But, as we suspect, all this is surface stuff. For, as their evening proceeds, the play reveals skeletons from the past and a spectre of the future.

  In this book , Alan Ayckbourn charts the decline of a large family business. The Strattons are big in transport and leisure centres; but they have spawned two hopeless sons, and family and then the recession hits them. Gerry Stratton has arranged a party at the family's favourite restaurant to celebrate his wife's 54th birthday; roving son Glyn has patched up his failing marriage with Stephanie to please his parents, and home-boy Adam has brought along his new girl, Maureen. The rest of the play is set around different tables in this same Mediterranean retreat.
