hese four additional seaside plays with surprising twists feature colorful and animated characters and delicate observations on life that are sometimes humorous, sometimes touching and always compassionate. In Day Trippers, coworkers, one confident and one prudish, learn more about themselves and their colleagues than they ought to during a brilliantly funny outing at a nudist beach. The Guilt Card concerns a woman whose life is blighted by the machinations and emotional blackmail of her sickly elder sister. Theatrical Digs is a farcical battle of wits, work, agents and mobile phones between a glamorous, conceited actress and an eccentric older performer. Short Changed finds a retired headmistress facing revenge from a social services official who is an ex pupil.
