This all too human comedy about trying to do the right thing is by Oscar nominated author and playwright Ronald Harwood who penned The Dresser and Quartet. Equally Divided begins shortly after the funeral of Edith and Renata’s mother. Edith, impecunious and practical, likes to think she is a good person. She was a dutiful daughter to her demanding, bedridden mother, while rich, selfish, younger sister Renata got all the attention – and all the husbands! Edith looked after “Ma” for ages; Renata barely lifted a painted fingernail to help the old dear. When the will is read, old childhood rivalries re-emerge. But something tells Edith that Renata – glamorous, impossible Renata – will always come out on top. Will Edith find that honesty, like beauty, is only skin deep? Will their eccentric mother’s tempting collection of antiques, littered around her old, converted railway carriage on a beach in southern England, prove a temptation too far?
