The doting mother's hectic house becomes a little more noisy when she finds herself lumbered with a new guest - a homeless parrot. To add to her problems, she is on a desperate mission to make sure grandson Bono doesn't get sent to the infamous local primary school, against his parents' wishes. At least she has her New Year's Eve party to look forward to - which seems to be going well, until her guests start dropping like flies. Will she be left to sing Auld Lang Syne all alone?

"Mrs Brown was first written for radio. I wrote it for a radio series in 1992. It was a five-minute piece for radio and it's been absolutely astonishing."
