Synopsis
Genre: Drama Characters: 4 females Scenery: 2 interiors, exteriors or unit set The drama of everyday life in Belfast: burning buses, ravaged blocks, gunfire are but off-stage events in this stirring play about three women whose men have been killed or imprisoned for their political activities.
Chilling themes are off set by many humorous and heart warming moments in this play about people, not politics, which offers excellent acting opportunities.
1991 Winner, Susan Smith Blackburn Award; Evening Standard's Most Promising Playwright Award.
Press Reviews
"Rona Munro's ear for the authentic cut and thrusts of Belfast's unsung heroines is sharp, abrasive and at times downright painful...It is also celebratory and funny."
— Daily Mail
"Absorbing, often funny...Exhilarating."
— Sunday Telegraph
