Sue Townsend's play sees three agoraphobic women endure a jumble sale organised by their social workers in an attempt to drag them, kicking and screaming, into the open. High jinks ensue as Fliss, the lefty trainee and Gwenda, the ex-agoraphobic volunteer get the girls to face the public. The girls are obsessively hygienic Bell Bell, ex-variety songstress Katrina and the vulgar Margaret who's been in longer than either of the others. The origins of their fears are explained in this 'amusing yet uncomfortable and occasionally shocking slice of Eighties' life' (Press, York).
