Stranded during the inevitable delay of a holiday flight to Spain, Rosemary - "I'm a one-parent family, you see" - and her not-very-bright daughter, Mandy, draw the reluctant Dennis and Sheila Tippitt into conversation. Sheila has suggested a holiday to try to right her ailing marriage. Rosemary is looking for a husband for Mandy. The comic tone of the play shifts continually between Rosemary's malapropisms and Dennis' grimly humorous bigotry.
