THE WASH HOUSE BLUES
by Liliane Grace
What happens when new employee, the bumbling Miss Takes, arrives on the scene of Mr Fizz's Wash House? The 'wash house blues', of course! This pacey, comical play explores the idea that it's okay to make mistakes. Main characters include the self-important owner of the laundromat, Mr Fizz; his matronly, efficient assistant, Mrs Able; his very hip, creative daughter Laundrette; and, of course, the consistently unsuccessful Miss Takes. There are also numerous customers and a chorus, with potential for both non-speaking characters and even younger siblings to take part.
