This play is the life of Brenda Barnes and her story as a young nine-year-old girl right through to her forties. As we accompany her through her life we witness many challenges she faces including having a short- tempered mother and a father who is his worst enemy. This insight to their family life is both absorbing and casual from start to finish.
