With nuptials looming, the play’s protagonist Daisy faces a daunting introduction to her coiffed and conservative future mother-in-law, played by Louise Slverson. Alcoholic ex-boyfriends and uninhibited left-wing parents impede Daisy on her path to marital bliss in this comedic exploration of middle-class values, family and love. Murray-Smith has achieved international success, with her witty and winsome plays, receiving many award nominations including the Olivier Award for Best Comedy for Female of The Species. The play was commissioned by MTC and directed by Peter Houghton, with a cast also including Matthew McFarlane, Alex Menglet, Genevieve Morris, Adam Murphy, Nikki Shiels.
