After Iris: The Diaries Of Bluebell Gadsby (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

INSIDE THE RICHMOND HILL RETIREMENT HOME.
     A large room, shabby but pleasant. Worn beige carpet, French windows on to a garden. A big table covered in magazines. Bookcases full of books. Lots and lots of armchairs covered in flowery fabric, all turned towards the back of the room where ZORAN sits at an upright piano. There is a very, very old person in each of the armchairs. Some of these old people are asleep, a few dribble but most are alert, their faces bright with expectation. The OLD LADY closest to the piano clasps her hands to her bosom. She wears her snowy hair pinned up and gazes adoringly at Zoran. AN OLD MAN IN A RED BOW TIE beside her gazes adoringly at her, but she pays no attention to him. Zoran sits with his hands splayed across the keyboard. The old people watch him.
     ZORAN (looks up from the piano)Chopin, Nocturne.
     Zoran begins to play, except that play does not seem the right word. Music pours from the end of his fingers, light, haunting, a little sad.
