...buskers put on the biggest one-night pitch in their his tory. Partridge himself sang Rosie and his latest single, Breakfast on Pluto. As much of a hit was the grande dame of busking's elder set: a round, waddling littie woman of 54 known only as Meg, who sang Danny Boy in a round, waddling contralto. Said she: "I only sing classical." The Spoonies, two stubble-chinned men in their 60s named Scottie and Georgie, clattered through Waltzing Matilda, one whacking a banjo, the other clicking two bent dessert spoons like castanets.

But only Daughter Zenobia (Meg Foster) acknowledges this; Mother and Father refuse to admit that anything has really changed.

With the maximum possible score of 225 points, he skied off with the World Cup, the supreme trophy of the sport...
...member of the cast knows where to prospect and she alone is enough to make the show worth seeing. Her name is Meg Meglathery, and she plays one of the weird sisters. She is marvelous. Tart as some of her own quince jam and so tiny that she is virtually two-dimensional, Miss Meglathery bustles self-containedly about the stage amid heavy traffic of corpses, cops, criminals, and intended victims. Her voice is crystal clear, her demeanor is perfect and her timing is unfailingly accurate...
