Mrs Delgado
Description
Helen, along with sixty-seven million other people, is in lockdown. Unfortunately, Helen's neighbour, Mrs Delgado, is not.
Mike Bartlett's funny and poignant play for one actor tells a story of desire, control, raised blinds and lowered boundaries.
This edition also includes the monologue Phoenix, a powerful story of fire and destruction, self-deceit and the corrosion of trust.
Reviews
"Provocative, uncannily topical... rewardingly witty."
- Telegraph
"Hilarious... has the gleeful glow of someone returning to what they love. The story and characters tumble out fully formed. The jokes feel effortless, the passion instinctive. It's a heartfelt rallying cry for the importance of community... Mrs Delgado bursts off the page."
- Guardian
"Riveting... With Bartlett's ability to write characters with such sincere humanity, this 60-minute drama is as bewitching as it is unsettling... exquisitely worded."
