    another play from the 70s
    no doubt a play for today ....is it available anywhere ?

    a mother on a high rise estate does a bad job of looking after her many offspring
    one of the complaints made against her is one child turned up for school smelling of urine

    at the very end through loads of trials and tribulations she gives the kids and herself overdoses mixed up in a bedtime drink to make sure they all dont wake up again

    Might be able to get it at Ioffer:

    THE SPONGERS DVD 1978 Play for Today For Sale


    There's also a copy on Ebay and I've seen it on one or two other websites, but I don't know how reliable they are.
