Meet Ursula.
She’s made it. A nice house filled with gorgeous furniture and a merc in the driveway. She doesn’t mind throwing her sister Jacinta a few quid here and there, what with her having five kids and a good-for-nothing husband to deal with.
But when Ursula falls on hard times, will she have to swallow her pride and break her promises?
The first of eight 10 minute plays, in the brand new audio play series, On The Street Where We Live.
