Description
Mrs Kay's 'Progress Class' are unleashed for a day's coach trip to Conway Castle in Wales, stopping off at the cafe, the zoo, the beach and the funfair, the children taking advantage of the numerous opportunities to bicker, fool around, steal and get lost. Russell presents an exuberant celebration of the joys and agonies of growing up and being footloose, fourteen and free from school. But this is more than a romp - 'Our Day Out' points up the depressing present and empty future for these comprehensive-school children from the backstreets of Liverpool, for whom a day out is as much as they can expect.
