To feel utterly thrilled that playwright Lucy Kirkwood has said she researched her new play on MN?

[SurpriseSparDay]

She’s talking about The Welkin on Front Row, Radio 4.

(Is this too niche? Hope not.)

A play about someone refusing to answer the door sounds fucking tragic tbh

A play about -
People who hate their mother in law,
interspersed with parking disputes, irritation at visitors using the upstairs bathroom to take a dump, featuring children with unusual, but classic names. In the climax scene she gets all her ducks in a row and corrects the autocue person on their shoddy grammar.

Does it involve someone using a toilet brush as a murder weapon, then dissolving the body in a vat of zoflora?

Heard this!

Play sounds interesting with Maxine Peak, but in London?

It has to be better that the dross that was on today.

Gay couple. Visit ones parents and take cake. Twice.

It might tour?

It was just so amazing that someone with a public profile acknowledged that MN has something to offer ...

The final scene is a deserted stage, with the lights gradually fading...
A disembodied calls “I knew all along that she was a troll”....

I write as well and always use Mumsnet for inspiration. Have for years... And mentioned it on Women's hour about 6 years ago...

I heard this too.

Others on the programme were all "Mumsnet? But that's just, you know, mums"

And she said how MN is a huge collection of women from the UK and many other countries, from all sorts of backgrounds/socio-economic groups. She was great.

Wish I knew who she is on here

She was great

Very lively personality - made me smile .

I really want to see the play now. In spite of the large speculum
