Essex on Stage: Daisy

By Nicola and Stacey Bland
Supported by Queen's Theatre Hornchurch and Matthew Schmolle Productions

Two Sisters. One Restaurant. Smile, it might never happen!

DAISY is a comedy drama that follows the story of two East End Sisters as they attempt to navigate their way through their part time job in a local Pub/ Restaurant. Poppy and Daisy Monk are as opposite as two sisters can be but are the best of friends that have each others back no matter what. Nobody messes with the Monk Family!

Through the sisters eyes we see the comings and goings of regulars, drifters and lively locals and how these brief encounters of this everyday job affects the day to day lives of the girls, their family, and ultimately their future.

DAISY was created with public funding from Arts Council England and Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch.
