Theatre review: Fly Me to the Moon, Oran Mor, Glasgow

In many ways, care workers are frontline troops in the battle over wealth, power and resources that is now raging in the UK, and some other western countries. Paid insulting poverty wages to do the arduous and vital job of caring for elderly people in their own homes, they carry on their shoulders the whole weight of a skewed economy that values planet-ravaging “wealth creation” above actual human care; and when brilliant Northern Irish playwright Marie Jones agreed to write a lunchtime play for A Play, a Pie and a Pint in 2010, it’s hardly surprising that she chose to focus on a story involving two harassed care workers, Loretta and Francis.
