This is a two-act comedy set in the kitchen of Alice's home in Ireland.
In Act One we celebrate Alice's seventieth birthday and in Act Two
we celebrate her seventy-first. See what changes, if any, a year can make!
Due to a tragic accident, Alice was widowed at an early age and left to
raise a son, Barry, and a daughter Barbara, on her own.
Barbara now lives in San Francisco with her husband Cormac and Barry
lives in England with his new girlfriend, Sandy, while Alice lives alone
except for the company of Jimmy Heffernan her neighbor for many years.
Her children return each year to "celebrate" her birthday and present
Alice with plans to place her in an "old peoples" home, however, this is
Alice's
greatest nightmare and they have not counted on her determination
not
to go through with their scheme.
Bernard Farrell has given us an excellent play with lots of laughs
and one that all the Alices of this world can certainly relate to.
