Charlotte Keatley’s award-winning family drama has been a huge hit with audiences around the world since it was premiered in 1987 by Brigid Larmour, now Artistic Director of the Palace, who directs this major revival.
This enormously popular and hugely entertaining play explores the ever-changing roles and expectations of mothers and daughters, through the lives of four generations of women in one family.
This play completely redefined the concept of family drama.
Now translated into 23 languages, and produced from Finland to Peru, the play guarantees Watford audiences a
theatrical treat this autumn. Bring your mother, grandmother, daughter – or anyone who ever had a mother.
‘In its revelation of motherdaughter emotions over the years, the play is without rivals. It is a classic.’ Jeremy Kingston, The Times
‘Everything about Brigid Larmour’s revival at Watford Palace Theatre is spot-on’
The Daily Telegraph, on Absent Friends
