Stitches comprising six  playlets

 Act One
Scene 1 - Plaster

Richly comic , in which a thoroughly broken man, 99% covered in bandages and plaster and  surrounded by machinery keeping him going, is visited by his wife. Much is revealed as to the nature of their relationship!

 Scene 2 - Going Home

A study of racial and class prejudice, universal sisterhood and the awakening of the finer possibilities that life may offer once the option of choice (as opposed to dumb acceptance) is realised. A well observed journey of self-awareness for one character, with comic, ironic and many thought provoking moments.

An old man runs through his life events, whilst sitting, visitor-less, by a sun-streamed window, during visiting hour at the hospital. A stream of consciousness, like watching an old flickering home movie.  Tissue factor: 10!

Act Two
Scene 1- Gentle Breeze

A postman, visiting outpatients, whiles away the waiting  time chatting  about his various sartorial peccadilloes. Witty, sly, revealing and touching.

 Scene 2 - Questions

An elderly gentleman, recently discharged from a stay in hospital, is visited at home by a young nurse, whose remit it is to establish if he is fit to cope at home on his own. Another powerful study of the strength of the human spirit with a magical,  heart-warming  moment as total rapport is established between youth and grand old age. Tissue factor: 10!

 Scene 3 - Magic
