GamePlan
by Alan Ayckbourn
Teenage Sorrel fights to keep herself and her abandoned
mother, once a dot.com businesswoman, financially afloat
by setting up as a part-time hooker, advertising for clients
on the internet and persuading her tearful school chum to
act as her maid. Just when you wonder what will happen in
this terrible situation the play becomes a farce about body
disposal, police questioning and media intrusion.
