*Writing Award Winner* The 'May Residential Home For Retired Theatricals' is the setting for stroke victim Ethel's 100th birthday party.  Larger-than-life Queenie, (a fellow ' inmate') makes it known that if ever she has a stroke, she wants someone to put a pillow on her face. A few months later and Queenie succumbs to the illness herself.  So who will do the deed?  The young care assistant Sheena or the owners ' punk' son Spike?  This play has a wealth of middle-aged and elderly comedy characters, who deal with the subject of old age, illness, death and euthanasia, in a light-hearted and touching way.  Through laughter and tears.
