- Series Info
It’s Jan’s wedding reception, and Meg, Jan and Tara are taking a break in the Ladies Room. Rivalry between Jan and Tara has simmered since they were at school together, intensified by an encounter some years ago in the same Ladies Room on a singles night. Feelings run high when Jan accuses Tara of spoiling her hen-night party and being previously involved with her new husband Mike. Then Meg discovers that the door to the room is jammed.
Nobody has a phone to call for rescue, and a series of mishaps and misfortunes follow while they wait for someone to find them. Jan suffers a dress malfunction and has to change. She tries to pry open the door with a nail file, only succeeding in breaking her nail. Meg spends her time checking the toilet cubicles to see which ones are working, eventually resorting to banging S-O-S on the cubicle pipes. She sees what she thinks is a rat, which having been ‘killed’ by Tara turns out to be simply a pom-pom.
Then the lights begin to flicker, water drips from the ceiling and puddles appear on the floor. Further exploration of the room leads Jan to sit on a wet chair, stand on something horrendous, step a puddle and get slices of wedding cake between her toes, while Meg gets her foot stuck in a toilet bowl and has to be extricated by Tara.
All seems lost when Jan’s lost phone rings. It’s Mike, letting them know that help is at hand. Rescue is imminent when the lighting fails and the pipes burst, bringing a damp end to their miserable evening.
This play is the sequel to 'Flushed'.

Frequently asked questions
Can we try before we buy?
Of course! All our plays and pantomimes have a free Preview Script available for download as an A4 pdf file that contains 60-75% of the full script. If you like what you read then you can buy an inexpensive e-script of the entire play (typically less than half the cost of a traditional printed script) which is licensed to you for your personal use. Purchasing a script copying licence allows you to make just enough copies to support rehearsals and performances.
All our musicals are included in our perusal service. Through this, representatives of producing organisations can request a USB Stick of perusal material which comprise the script/libretto and piano/vocal score as PDF files; a Cast (or Studio) Recording as MP3 files and (where available) an MP4 file video of either the premiere production or of a subsequent production.
Some titles have the facility to read the entire script online on our website.
Do we need a Licence To Perform?
The simple answer is, yes.
Under the international laws of copyright, you must be in possession of a valid, unexpired licence before performing any piece of theatre unless the owner or managers of the copyright has waived their rights.
Why do you insist on providing a formal royalties quotation?
When you request a quotation, it is logged in our system, it forms part of an orderly queue and protects your place in that queue should multiple licensing requests occur for the same show.
