Frances Edmonds
Press clippings
Women's Troubles starts with a terrible handicap, the excruciating chairing of Frances Edmonds. Here is a woman who appears to believe that studied verbosity - especially if tricked out with a babyish voice and a camp jolly hockey sticks attack - is inherently comic, and words like "cogitations" and "luminary" signs of wit. [...] On the other hand, the team captains - the ubiquitous Jo Brand and Jan Ravens - and their female guests are genuinely funny.
