Unsuspecting Susan

By Stewart Permutt

The story of Susan - whose life revolves around her dogs, am-dram, bell-ringing and village gossip - and her adult son who's converted to Islam.

Stewart Permutt's monologue play Unsuspecting Susan was first staged at King's Head Theatre, London, in 2003, starring Celia Imrie.
