Rosa Mendoza.
A new play by Rob John
February 2016. Keith and Pamela Dawson owners of the award-winning Poppyland Guest House in Cromer proudly promise their guests impeccable standards and a traditional, old-school, UK holiday experience.
The union jack flies in the front garden, cauliflower cheese remains a fixture on the early supper menu and croissants will be served at breakfast over Pam’s dead body.
But in February 2016 The Poppyland is struggling to recruit English staff and Pam and Keith reluctantly take on an eccentric Spanish chambermaid with dubious qualifications and a colourful past. Rosa Mendoza a free-spirit from Andalucia arrives in Cromer and nothing at The Poppyland will ever be the same again.
And oh yes, in February 2016 something else happens. David Cameron announces that referendum thing and actually nothing in the whole UK will ever be the same again.
Rob John’s new Norfolk play explores an explosive triangular relationship over five tumultuous years in a dark comedy for our times.
