Synopsis

This earthy comedy is set in a small town brothel.

Lily has just arrived determined to earn enough to pay her debts, having left her baby with a friend.

She enters the monthly competition to be Number One Girl and becomes the month's leading contender until a crisis with her daughter forces her to break a rule no outside phone calls.

Her courage in standing up to the madam gives another girl the courage to leave the brothel too.

The play ends as it began, with the entrance of a new girl.
