Details

A series of monologues, funny and poignant, normally from two to four of these would be performed at a time. A Cream Cracker Under The Settee tells of an old woman who has a fall, but her pride doesn't allow her to accept help. Bed Among the Lentils tells of a woman with a drink problem, married to a vicar who exploits her recovery actually caused by an affair with an Indian shopkeeper. A Lady of Letters is the story of a woman obsessed with writing letters of complaint and reporting her neighbours who eventually finds comfort in prison. Soldiering On is the tale of a well-to-do woman who finds one day that she's a widow and her husband has left her ill equipped to handle her own affairs - and her son loses her money in bad investments. Miss Fozard Finds Her Feet - Life takes an unexpected turn for the better when Miss Fozard puts her feet in the hands of her new chiropodist, Mr Dunderdale. The Hand of God - Celia loves beautiful things. That's why she came into the Antique business. A witty, sly story of greed, chance and...Antiques!
