Introduction
Samuel Beckett is one of the 20th century's most brilliant playwrights. He proved many times that a few words could convey a great deal, with the pauses conveying even more. In this brief but pithy piece, three women reminisce about old school days. As time goes on, we learn more about each woman. A succinct, significant and satisfying piece to perform and watch.

Who was Hilary Maconochie?
Directed by Rob Clother
Introduction
A very clever, surreal piece by the playwright whose work inspired Tom Stoppard. The stately Mrs Drudge is visited by her close friend Mrs Brute. Sundry revelations ensue, often clarified and corrected by Hilda the Maid, who cuts through the confusion like a knife, and expounds on her own past affairs and grievances throughout. It reflects on the fickleness of memory and the final futility of our lives and loves.
