Who likes to have shampoo in its eyes when they
wash your hair?
Who likes to wash the dishes and sweep the floor?
Who likes to Pick up its toys after playing?
Who likes to do the laundry, arrange clothes and then go running to work?
The play tells us about a common day in Gus and
his mother’s lives.
Gus plays and plays and plays, as every kid does.
The mother has lots of things to do and makes them always in a hurry, as all mothers do. But that day, the routine is magically altered by a sudden game, where for some moments Gus will be the adult and his mother will be a girl. At the end things will never be the same anymore.
The play was presented during the 2001/2002
season of the National Program of School Theatre in Mexico City.
There have already been 250 shows presented.
Due to the fact that the Program is given only to schools
and not to an open audience, there is no journal follow up of these presentations.
