Synopsis
The May Residential Home For Retired Theatricals is the setting for stroke victim Ethel's one hundredth birthday party. Larger than life Queenie, (a fellow 'inmate') makes it known that if ever she has a stroke, she wants someone to put a pillow on her face. A few months later and Queenie succumbs to the illness herself. So who will do the deed? The young care assistant Sheena or the owners 'punk' son Spike?
This play has a wealth of middle aged and elderly 'comedy characters' who deal with the subject of old age, illness, death and euthanasia, in a light hearted and touching way. View extract.
