A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Short Play, Drama / 4w
Gladys M Hogg
Determined not to be a burden to her family in her old age, Mrs Hopkins lives alone in a flat but is always cheerful and ready for a chat with anyone who drops in. On the happy occasion of her eighty-first birthday, cards and presents arrive from family and friends, as well as an unknown Visitor who brings a bunch of flowers. The trusting Mrs Hopkins immediately admits her, but as the Visitor's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic and sinister the action builds to a frightening intensity, until fate plays an unexpected and merciful hand. This gripping drama, with its chilling suspense, warmth and pathos, is simple to stage and makes an ideal choice for all-female groups.
Mrs Hopkins, 81.
Jane, Mrs Hopkins's daughter, 40s.
Postie, female, 20s.
Visitor, female, 40s.
