Did not realize going into this (I got a copy from the library), that it is a sequel to another play, Ladies' Day - but I don't think that makes much difference - one quickly catches on to what happened previously, and the broad characters are easy to determine. I suppose it is MEANT to be a comedy, but the laughs are on the level of a lame sit-com, and there are a few too many heavy-handed self-empowerment/live your life now messages for my taste.

I recently played Jan in this play and I must say it was a very enjoyable experience!

For all Whittington's flaws, at least she writes popular plays with working-class women at the centre, and there's not enough of that in the dramatic canon. This one is a lot of fun, despite slow pacing in parts.
