You, Me and Wii (NHB Modern Plays)

A play set in a council house in a small Leicestershire town. Vincent's skiing on the Wii, Sheila's feeding her great-granddaughter McKenzie, and Kerry's getting on with the ironing. None of them are planning on voting in the election, but when Selina Snow rings the doorbell to canvas, perhaps she can change their minds, or they can change hers.

This play was first staged at the Traverse Theatre, in 2010 as part of the Women, Power & Politics season.
