BETROTHAL, A

by Wilson, Lanford

A warm-hearted and humorous study of two fanatical iris-breeders who meet at a flower show. Annoyed and disappointed that their wonderful creations have been so rudely ignored by the judges, they eventually pool their anger and resources resulting in the birth of an exciting new project - the creation of a cross-breed of their two would-be champions which would surely rock the horticultural world! Recently premiered in London, starring Ben Kingsley and Geraldine James. “Jewel-like, small-scale, elegant and glittering ... the fierce humour of this short but substantial play makes you wish it was twice as long.” [The Times]
