註釋"Three short plays for one (female) actor - all featuring mothers on the edge. Two have been staged to great acclaim, the third - a new piece by Catherine Johnson - has yet to be performed. Jordan by Anna Reynolds with Moira Buffini: based on the true story of a young mother who kills her baby boy rather than have him taken away by his abusive father, it won the Writers' Guild Award for Best Fringe Play. The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret by Catherine Johnson: the alternating stories of two women (played by one actress) who 'lose' their sons, one apparently murdered, the other a runaway. Catherine Johnson wrote the book for Mamma Mia! as well as several plays for theatres in London and Bristol. Unsuspecting Susan by Stewart Permutt: a middle-aged, upper-middle-class woman, originally played by Celia Imrie, reveals more than she means to about her increasingly odd 33-year-old son."--BOOK JACKET.
