Old Money – review
Hampstead theatre, London

‘The virtue of Wooley's play is that it conveys the extraordinariness of the seemingly ordinary. On the surface, Joyce looks like an archetypally respectable suburban widow. But we slowly learn about her unhappy youth and, therefore, feel no surprise when she abandons her aged mum and appallingly dependent daughter in order to buy expensive clothes, chat up lonely men in Regent's Park and hang out with an East End stripper. Wooley makes the point, very effectively, about the belated urge to compensate for the unlived life and the failure of families to communicate with each other’
