About the work

J. M. Barrie's one-act wartime play centres on Mrs Dowey, a London charwoman who invents a soldier son because she is ashamed that she has no child serving in the First World War. When the real Kenneth Dowey appears on leave, the deception develops into an unexpected surrogate mother-and-son bond. The comedy turns bittersweet when Kenneth returns to the front.
