Description: Written for Live Theatre in 1977, this bitter-sweet domestic comedy is set in the Newcastle of 30 years or so before that, from the day war broke out to VE Day, and follows the fortunes of the Stott family from Walker. It is firmly rooted in working class life and values, with the somewhat ambiguous position of women in a society which was firmly patriarchal but also, in the North Eastern working class, thoroughly matriarchal.
