Description
A fast-moving play about the lives of four women navigating the challenges of work and relationships in 1980s Britain. Prim Susan, Frankie, Sandra, and Pat form an unlikely bond as they take part in a Government-sponsored training course for shorthand typists. As they face the frustrations of clapped-out keys, broken backspaces, and sticky spacebars, their conversations reveal their thoughts on men, politics, work, and each other. The result is a hilarious and heart-breaking portrayal of women finding their voices in a world where they often have to fight for recognition.
