Claire and Lisa Walker are neurotic sisters on the run who assume the identities of Internationally renowned poets The Wilding Sisters to take refuge at a Poetry Retreat for the weekend; spending time in the black mountains of Wales amongst poets and the inspiration of nature leads to a new beginning for our heroines.
Jamie Adams directs Alice Lowe and Dolly Wells in a compassionate comedy.
Alice Lowe, Dolly Wells and Tom Cullen excel in this flimsy, funny tale of siblings who impersonate beat poets at a retreat in the Black Mountains.
Awkward encounters, social embarrassment and shameless flirtations ensue in an uneven mixture of satire and farce.
Neither the jabs at literary types nor the ensemble jokes quite come off in this caper about two women trying to pass themselves off as poets.
