Random Moments In a May Garden by JAMES SAUNDERS with This elegant domestic study is set within the deceptively simple framework of a middle-aged married couple giving a small dinner-party for their friends. In the background, hauntingly, is an old photograph of another family group taken in a May garden, raising the question of transience versus permanence. The play also subtly explores Sophie's doubts on the degree of her own fulfilment.
Producer RICHARD WORTLEY ‡
Beautiful to listen to, a meditation on growing up and the loss of hope, written in a kind of poetic naturalism ... and acted with feeling and with clarity. (THE TIMES) followed by an interlude
