I saw the play on my own, at the Mayfair theatre in London in 1977. There were four women on stage, in very ordinary clothes, in an ordinary flat. That was really unusual. And they weren’t elegant. I don’t remember thinking, oh, these are nice, stylish women in terrific clothes, which I was used to seeing.
At that time there were no other plays like that. I was in my 20s and hadn’t seen anything where the women were at the centre, but not idealised or sidelined. They were the play. And I found that just revolutionary.
