Have a little read: ... Our day out is generally perceived as a social commentary, either to display the depressing present or as a message of hope, to give foresight into a future of possibilities. The play centres on a trip to Conwy castle for Mrs Kay's apparent "progress" class. As one would expect the pupils act up to the stereotype of Liverpudlians, they are quintessentially scallywags. The play boasts a rich diversity of characters; Mrs Kay and Mr Briggs are conveyed as polar-opposites, divided by their methods and stances on ethical arguments; Reilly and Carol provide great contrast, Reilly takes an acceptant approach to his inevitable, hopeless future whereas Carol is conveyed as being deeply fearful. Throughout the play the characters are cross-examined revealing that a depressing, sense of defeat lays beneath their aggressive, abusive persona's1. The play manages to be very successfully ironic, Mrs Kay's remedial class is called the "progress class"; ironic
