Description "Do not bleach! Do not tumble dry! Do not shrink!? La Mama's own Liz Jones performs with Caroline Lee and Jane Bayly in a post-Beckettian tour-de-force set in a laundromat. Who remembers the thirteenth godmother from Sleeping Beauty: the uninvited guest by whose curse the princess fell asleep for a hundred years? Now she washes, waiting for her chance to 'make another better wish'. Care Instructions wrings every drop of polyphony from the scripted language; Marguerite Duras meets Gertrude
Stein on a perfect drying day. Director Margaret Cameron brings her incisive wit and dramatic sensibility..."
