Description Commissioned and first performed by the feminist theatre group, The Monstrous Regiment, Teendreams takes a clear-eyed but sympathetic look at the careers of two women, one a teacher, one a wife and mother, from their teenage idealism in the sixties to their sober self-awareness ten years later. Teendreams is the company's sixth production and its first venture into working with a male writer. (blurb on playscript)
