Product Description
Two plays about two very different women. Happy Birthday Dear Alice is a comedy with a dark side. It tells the story of Alice, now elderly, and juxtaposes her stressful present with her joyous past. Farrell particularly wanted her dilemma to be counter-pointed by celebration and so focuses on her birthday parties. The Stella character in Stella by Starlight is by comparison a young woman with her whole life ahead of her, and everything to lose. She is married to a man who, forced into early retirement, whisks her off to live in the wilds of Wicklow, where he pursues his hobbies, leaving her to slowly vegetate.
