MORRIS, THE

by Blakeman, Helen

It’s a sunny day in Prestatyn for the End of Season Championships . . .

Our Lady All Angels’ Morris Dancing Troupe are fluffing up their shakers, whitening their pumps and sizing up the competition.  As defending Champions, Lily’s troupe are attempting to retain their title, something never accomplished before. But other teams prepared to go any length to win the Championships. Could this year’s cup go to The Wigan Pierettes or even the Halton Hi-Lites? As the afternoon wears on it’s more than their dance routine that’s put to the test as Lily and her troupe prepare for the contest of their lives.

The Morris is a hilarious and powerful play about friendship, motherhood and pom-poms which was published to tie-in with the play’s world premiere at the Everyman Theatre, Liverpool during May 2005.
