“I think sex is like supermarkets, just a lot of pushing and shoving and you still come out with very little in the end.”

What can you do when you realize that you’ve hit middle age, and your life has been shaped by choices made by everyone except you?

The heroine in this play by Willy Russell is an ordinary middle class English housewife. As she prepares chips and egg for dinner, she ruminates on her life and tells the wall about her husband, her children, her past, and an invitation from a girlfriend to join her on holiday in Greece to search for romance and adventure.

One of the world’s best loved characters comes to HGLT in this heart-warming play about discovering who you really are.
