WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Direct from its world premiere at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough comes the US premiere of Alan Ayckbourn's 73rd play, My Wonderful Day.
Winnie lives in a world full of adults. She's off school for the day and has an essay to write, "My Wonderful Day." What better time to
write it than today? What better opportunity than quietly seated unnoticed in a corner, while mother busies herself around the house? What better source of material than the bizarre and increasingly frenetic comings and goings of adults in the weird household in which
she finds herself?
Sit with Winnie and observe her "Wonderful" day and be prepared to be appalled! Grown ups, really, they're such children!
Part of the sixth annual Brits Off Broadway Festival.

Alan Ayckbourn's new bittersweet comedy My Wonderful Day, now at 59E59 Theaters as part of the Brits Off Broadway festival, is among his best and most touching works -- which really says something considering it is his 73rd play!
The production, which is directed by the playwright, is also notable for the astonishing central performance by 28-year-old actress Ayesha Antoine. She plays 9-year-old Winnie, who is brought along to work one Tuesday by her pregnant cleaning-lady mom Laverne (Petra Letang). Winnie isn't in school because of a sore throat; but, at Laverne's insistence, she must do her homework all the same -- writing an essay headed "My Wonderful Day." In addition, Tuesdays are[...]
