PENNIES BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS

by Lissa Benyon

A young woman confronts old age as she spends time each week with a grandfather, two grandmothers, and a great aunt. Their difficult relationship is played out in a series of increasingly bizarre, poignant and funny scenes. This is a quirky black comedy that swings between naturalism and surrealism. The roles of the grandmothers etc are written to be performed by actors of any age.
