Description

Exam Board: SQALevel: National 5Subject: EnglishFirst Teaching: September 2014First Exam: June 2015This play, a set text for National 5 English, is the story of three women in war-torn Belfast.

Although their men have been killed or imprisoned for their political activities, everyday life must go on.

However, the arrival of a disturbing young girl and the revelations which follow threaten to disrupt their friendship. The main themes are largely domestic - relationships between women and within families, dreams and homemaking.

The language is colloquial with Irish idioms, and many contemporary references, and there is a poignant ending.

The play is aimed at students of English, particularly those studying National 5 English. In 1991 Rona Munro won the Susan Smith Blackburn Award and "The Evening Standard" Most Promising Playwright Award for "Bold Girls".
