Cecily by Gillian Plowman - Directed by Gordon Cox

Cecily

A play for women.
Cast: 3 women
Sheila, Ellen, her sister and Cecily, her daughter.

Following a motorcycle accident in which her boyfriend was killed, Cecily is brain-damaged. Her lone parent, Sheila, is struggling to cope whilst her aunt, Ellen, tries to distant herself from the situation. Ellen, elegant and married, comes to visit and gradually intense and complicated family relationships are revealed when Sheila confronts Ellen with her responsibilities. The problems of carers are sharply highlighted - “I love her, I love her, but I don’t know what to do with her!” - and we are shown flashbacks of Cecily before the accident, her lively personality contrasting cruelly with the wheelchair-bound reality. Fiery, fortright and honest this moving play has three excellent roles for women.
