Our Day Out by Willy Russell tells the story of Mrs Kay's 'Progress Class,' who are unleashed for a day's coach trip to Conway Castle in Wales. It is an exuberant celebration of the joys and agonies of growing up and being footloose, fourteen, and free from school.

"The skill and zest of the show ...derive from its success in following the adult argument through while preserving all the fun of a story mainly played by children ...I have rarely seen a show that combined such warmth and such bleakness." - The Times
