Happy Birthday Hetty

It is the eve of Hetty’s 100th Birthday and she is excitedly looking forward to her telegram from the Queen and having her photo taken by the local press when she receives an unexpected visitor who she hasn’t seen for 45 years.

This funny and engaging drama takes place in a residential home where Hetty is quietly a bit of a rebel. She is in effect writing her century as she reflects on snapshots of her life from modern day banter with her carers to dark family secrets from the long forgotten past.

This is a play that looks at the elements of a life, the good, the bad and the humorous, that makes the person. It looks at how history is made, or fabricated and becomes fact. It looks at how life is all about relationships.
