| Flowers from Tunisia |
First
presented in 2005
by Theatr y Byd |
synopsis:
By Lawrence Alan
A parable on memory dramatised through the holiday romance between Hamat a Muslim flower seller looking to the West and Reah a seventy year old widow looking to love.
Reah though fit and feisty is slipping into the middle stages of dementia. She lives with her forty year old son, Keith, who looks after her though she believes she looks after him. Together they share an existence of collusion and delusion. For her hospital trips turn into luxury holidays and social workers and salesmen alike transmogrify into long lost relatives. For Keith it is sometimes easier to comply with the deceit. But all too often his logically trained brain tries to drag her back to reality, especially when his father, Reah`s long dead husband re-emerges from the grave or is reinvented as a brand new and unfamiliar creature.
