Ask Me Tomorrow
Tonight's play is the story of two young people searching for their own identities and a place in the world. At first, when Wilf Cotton leaves his mining village it is to find the anonymity and freedom from family pressures in which he can pursue his ambition to write. He becomes emotionally involved with an older woman in a relationship which is undemanding and, to him, ideal. But then Marguerite comes into his life, a frightened and unhappy girl fleeing from a mysterious past and hoping to find in the town where she was born some kind of foundation on which she can build her future. 'Why we're here is important,' he says to her one night, because it might help to explain the kind of people we are. 'But it's what happens after we meet that really matters.'
Ask Me Tomorrow, which was adapted from my novel by Alfred Bradley and myself, was first seen at the Sheffield Playhouse in February of last year. With the exception of Wilf Cotton, who is played by Brian Peck, the characters are re-created by those members of the Sheffield Playhouse Company who first played them on the stage.
