This title features M2 F3, and 1 girl (aged 9). It’s Downstairs areas in a modern town house. Winnie is nearly nine. Her mum, Laverne, is second-generation Afro-Caribbean and heavily pregnant but continues with her cleaning job since her husband left while she dreams of moving the family back to Martinique. Tuesdays are special: Laverne insists that Winnie speaks only French (in preparation for Martinique) and today is Tuesday - not her usual day to clean at the north London house of Kevin Tate, an affluent, bad-tempered, philandering, minor television personality. Not well enough to go to school, Winnie accompanies her mum and settles down to her homework: an essay entitled My Wonderful Day . Throughout the course of the next few hours, the shy, astute and ever-watchful Winnie will amass plenty of material for her essay as a variety of adults parades before her: Kevin’s baby-talking and patronizing mistress, his vengeful wife, and the hungover family friend who pours out his heart believing that Winnie doesn’t speak English. But as events reach a frenzied climax, Winnie’s essay will speak volumes. This hilarious and bitter-sweet classic from Alan Ayckbourn premiered a the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough before transferring to New York and a UK tour. The play is told through the child’s eyes, without an interval, and there is much scope for imaginative lighting and staging. …a startling play full of Ayckbourn’s rueful, comic wisdom .
