MRS ANNIE PEARSON

Mother’s Day J.B. Priestley The following play is a humorous portrayal of the status of the mother in a family. Let’s read on to see how Mrs Pearson’s family reacts when she tries to stand up for her own rights. Characters MRS ANNIE PEARSON GEORGE PEARSON DORIS PEARSON CYRIL PEARSON MRS FITZGERALD The action takes place in the living-room of the Pearsons’ house in a London suburb. Time: The Present Scene: The living-room of the Pearson family. Afternoon. It is a comfortably furnished, much lived-in room in a small suburban semi-detached villa. If necessary only one door need be used, but it is better with two — one up left leading to the front door and the stairs and the other in the right wall leading to the kitchen and the back door. There can be a muslin- covered window in the left wall and possibly one in the right wall, too. The fireplace is assumed to be in the fourth wall. There is a settee up right, an armchair down left and one down right. A small table with two chairs on either side of it stands at the centre. -
