“The play is an intriguing and illuminating look at four generations of women from the same family and their interactions with each other, over a 70 year period. It also has the benefits of being produced by London Classic Theatre – an established touring company of a very high standard. The set is cool and edgy – a clever and detailed junkyard scene that intelligently forms notable other locations. A company of just four actors perform this play – delightfully switching through the decades. You meet each character in different stages of their life and come to understand how they have made the decisions they did. The resentment that simmers under the surface between mother and daughter is identifiable and raw. It is the perfect storm for this thought provoking series of events. Endearing performances by a talented cast makes this one to watch. London Classic Theatre have delivered another outstanding offering. A highly recommended four stars.”

“Spanning the late twenties to the 1980s, the changes in the lives of women and girls is examined, in particular the expectations placed upon them by others, principally by their mothers, and then the men who are part of their adult lives. The play is rightly highly regarded, being both powerful and moving, and this production was wonderfully acted. Carole Dance as Doris, the eventual great-grandmother, gives an emotionally affecting study of a great arc of experience, from motivated adolescence, to blissful falling in love, through duty, disappointment and resentment, to something much nearer contentment in the company of the youngest of the family. The youngest, Rosie, is played by Felicity Houlbrooke with a bubbling excitement that truly communicates a passionate, almost wild optimism, such that you hope she will carry it through, undimmed, for all of her adult life. Connie Walker as Margaret, and Kathryn Ritchie as her daughter Jackie, are the pair in the middle, who find it so hard to tell each other what they really think, a theme that is explored throughout, and the climactic scene between them is played out with considerable force. This is a beautifully acted, absorbing and very thought-provoking evening that succeeds in landing quite an emotional impact.”
