| A Helping Hand by Peter Hale |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 1. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 2. Minimum total without doubling = 2. No chorus. Two strong roles for 1M, 1F (though Mary could be changed to male with only a few small alterations). |
| Run Time | Around 27 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | A one-act comedy - wry, rather than laugh-out-loud, possibly more sinister undertones if subtly played. Easy to stage on one living room set. |
| Synopsis | Mary, a harassed social services official, is visiting the old people in her district to update the database. George, an apparently lonely widower, is initially uncooperative. When Mary finds herself staying longer than expected, the barriers come down - and Mary is taught not to patronise the elderly. |
