Daisies is a straightforward, heart-on-sleeve double monologue for a young couple who become parents of a much-loved and long-awaited baby daughter, Daisy, only to face the horror of losing her in a sudden cot death; the play achieves a real tear-jerking power without ever sliding into soap-opera sentimentality.

Dominick, having packed his wife off on retreat to an obscure saint's shrine, is poised to enjoy an adulterous affair with sexy Grace. Grace arrives, followed by Dominick's wife, followed by Grace's husband - a formidable Aer Lingus pilot. Eventually the evening is resolved amicably although not quite how Dominick intended!

The play is a wryly observed comic drama on family life. School breaks up and the annual summer holiday begins. 'Where to go?' presents the first problem, followed by the interminable car journey, arrival, a sortie to the beach and a minefield of disasters which the family encounter along the way.

Basically it's a family's 'typically British' annual summer holiday, set roughly in the early 70s when every family went off on a seaside holiday (every year!) The play progresses through various short scenes depicting the car journey, the roadside picnic, getting there (eventually), the hotel, the beach, the talent contest, the holiday romance... the list goes on.

Everyone will be able to identify with something in the play.
