Description: In 'Womberang', a charming and comic short play first produced at the Soho Poly Theatre Club in London in 1979, Sue Townsend delights in smashing the grim silence of the hospital waiting room. As Rita whirls into a drab gynaecology clinic and smokes, rearranges the furniture and frightens away the clerk, her sparky no-nonsense attitude quickly livens up the sheepish patients. With no doctors anywhere to be seen, Rita takes charge and proves that there is sometimes no better tonic than wit, candour, and treating patients as people.
