A light and hilarious piece about two very different mothers whose daughters are competing in a beauty contest. As they sit in anxious anticipation of the judges’ verdict, they discuss their children’s attributes and talents. An atmosphere of muted rivalry prevails. “A marvellous piece of contrast ... handling one-up-womanship beautifully. A very enjoyable evening.” [Irish Times]
