Summary
Auntie is taken unawares when she encounters a woman in the house. Can it be her niece, Lil? But surely Lil was quite ugly, with a very large nose? It is Lil, who, seven weeks ago, after both her husband, Bill, and Auntie, had walked out on her, made a choice between suicide and a new life. Lil has cleared the debts and bought herself a new nose. Her new man is about to collect her when the woman with whom Bill left arrives to inform Lil he has had a massive stroke and needs her. Lil is faced with more decisions-and goes immediately to the hospital. All is not gloom, however, as the telephone call after she has left shows. . . Excellent parts for women, plenty of sparky dialogue and an easy setting make this play a certain winner!
