{"product_id":"9780573120756","title":"Departure - A Play","description":"Stranded in an airport lounge during the inevitable delay of a holiday flight to Spain, Rosemary - \"Ìm a one-parent family, you see\" - and her carbon-copy, not-very-bright daughter, Mandy, draw the reluctant Dennis and Shelia Tippit into a conversation. Sheila has suggested a holiday to try to right her ailing marriage; Rosemary is looking for a husband for Mandy. The comic tone of the play shifts continually between Rosemar\u0026amp;ygrave;s malapropisms and Denni\u0026amp;sgrave; grimly humorous bigotry with the close of the play finding Rosemary unmoved by the chaos she has caused and Dennis near to a nervous breakdown! A very popular comedy, still frequently performed today, in which the humour masks deep seated problems. A play about communication skills in which a very optimistic mother and daughter meet a very pessimistic man and his depressed wife. Based on the autho\u0026amp;rgrave;s experiences of being stuck at Gatwick airport in the eighties. Can be set in the late eighties or updated.","brand":"Samuel French Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026383978736,"sku":"9780573120756","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780573120756_p0.jpg?v=1763720361","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780573120756","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
