"I'm walking down the street and there's a door in the fence open and inside there are three women I've seen before"

The play has four lead roles for women in their sixties and seventies

Three old friends

Vi, an ex-hairdresser with a criminal past

Sally, who worked in medicine and fears cats

And Lena, who has agoraphobia

And neighbour Mrs Jarrett

Who has visions of apocalypse and catastrophe

"There is something very interesting in the fact that Caryl has written a play for four women within her age range. The thing I find incredible is its dramatic simplicity ... it is deeply domestic yet within that the form is one of the most challenging things you will ever read" ~ Vicky Featherstone, artistic director of the Royal Court
