Willy Russell

Our Day Out (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Mrs Kay's 'Progress Class' are unleashed for a day's coach trip to Conway Castle in Wales - in an exuberant celebration of the joys and agonies of growing up and being footloose, fourteen and free from school.

'The skill and zest of the show . . . derive from its success in following the adult argument through while preserving all the fun of a story mainly played by children . . . I have rarely seen a show that combined such warmth and such bleakness.' The Times

This edition contains the music to the play.

Rezensionen

'Willy Russell's big- hearted musical... never loses sight of the social problems that beset the children at its down-at-heel Liverpool comprehensive.' Sam Marlowe, The Times, 10.09.10
