    About this ebook

    Helen, along with sixty-seven million other people, is in lockdown. Unfortunately, Helen's neighbour, Mrs Delgado, is not.
    Mike Bartlett's funny and poignant play for one actor tells a story of desire, control, raised blinds and lowered boundaries.
    Mrs Delgado was first performed by Rakhee Sharma and directed by Clare Lizzimore in December 2021 at the Old Fire Station, Oxford, where Bartlett's play Snowflake premiered to critical acclaim.
    This edition also includes the monologue Phoenix, a powerful story of fire and destruction, self-deceit and the corrosion of trust.
    Phoenix was first performed in 2020 by Bertie Carvel as an audio drama, part of English Touring Theatre and Headlong's Signal Fires storytelling project.
