Brenda Blethyn puts in a tour-de-force performance as a middle-aged vaudevillian whose day and audience are both in decline. Added to this she has a failed marriage, an oily paramour and two sons who are becoming more interested in girls than mum.
In a further complication, one son, Mark, has a handicap. Played to perfection by newcomer Richard Wilson, Mark steals every scene he is in.
