"Womberang" by Sue Townsend
This play was a great laugh with vibrant characters, especially the female characters. It managed to make comments on the downfalls of our healthcare system whilst still being human and fun. This would be a great play for a strong female cast to take on somewhere like the fringe, due to its style, one-room setting and length.

Read Womberang and was impressed, a few years later caught an am-dram performance and by that point was a mother so picked up a lot more on the nuances - Memorable and full of promise.
