By Shelagh Delaney , the writer of A Taste of Honey.
Four women. all heading towards their 60th birthdays, get together again in Blackpool, the place where they first met as children in a convalescent home. Life has not turned out quite as they expected back then. and there is grief as well as joy and laughter to share among the old friends.
The play is a funny and moving sequel to Sweetly Sings the Donkey.
