Sue Townsend: Plays : 1

'A play by one of Britain''s best-selling writers Bazaar and Rummage brings together a neurotic do-gooder, a trainee social worker and three agoraphobics who have been persuaded to venture out of their homes to run a jumble sale. As a study of agoraphobia, Bazaar and Rummage...is written with great verve, style and wit.'' (Benedict Nightingale); Set in an adult literacy class where the student''s fear of ignorance is as much of a handicap as their inability to read, Groping for Words is ''a close up of the social scrap-heap, written in a fine vein of comic indignation and giving a voice to people whose lives are mainly spent in queues and waiting rooms.'' (Irving Wardle, The Times); Womberang shows free spirit Rita Onions bringing joy and anarchy to the grim waiting-room of a gynaecology clinic. ''A daydream of mastered fear''(New Society)'
