About this book
'Every day I've worn a mask. You won't have noticed...But then one day. It began to chip...' Forty years of respectable marriage should have prepared Joyce for respectable widowhood. She, however, has other ideas - and a secret life of champagne, strippers, and chance encounters unfolds in this tender comedy. For 30 years she has done her domestic duty – played the part her husband, mother, father and daughter thought appropriate. Now she is free and her eyes open to a whole new world of possibilities… New voice Sarah Wooley makes her main stage debut following successful plays at the National Theatre Studio, Theatre 503 and BBC Radio.
