Short monody (a monologue with a little action and a few simple props) for a dutiful middle-aged son. Contains mild swearing. |
Synopsis:
In this hilarious, and at times touching monologue we meet David who has come to sort out his recently deceased mother's bungalow. The most difficult part of his task is to deal with Mum's vast collection of Shirley Bassey memorabilia and even more difficult, though he won't admit it, to deal with his bereavement and say goodbye to his mother. Much to the embarrassment and annoyance of wife, Brenda he carries Mum's ashes around with him and is going through the process of taking Mum to all her favourite places. The final location he thinks of is Mum's ultimate dream - but will Shirley agree? |
