Every Tuesday, Pauline visits her elderly father to do household chores and take him to the supermarket. Desperate to connect with her father between the aisles and in line for the checkout, Pauline is met with gruff disrespect and embarrassment. For her father much preferred things when his daughter used to be his son, Paul.

TUESDAYS AT TESCO'S is the English language adaptation of the Moliere-nominated play Le Mardi a Monoprix, which Le Figaro called, "a superb piece of theatre: beautiful, pure and simple."
