No Lilies / Everything I Didn't Get to Say (In a Collection of Petals)
***CONTENT WARNING: Course language and brief nudity.
The only all female production in the London Fringe, by the only two female playwrights in the festival.
Everything I Didn't Get to Say (In a Collection of Petals): Sometimes, words fail. Sometimes, you don't get to say the words at all. Sometimes, words are not necessary to begin with. Everything I Didn't Get to Say (In a Collection of Petals) is a colourful journey into the past, revisiting moments that went wrong, moments that went just as they should have, and moments that only happened in an imagined alternate reality - all through the beautiful and fragrant lens of flowers and their world of meaning. A fever-dream of story-telling, poetry, and botany, all packed into 20 minutes!
No Lilies: Preparing for any big life event can be terrifying. Perhaps if we were free to strip away all the pressures and expectations put upon us by those around us, society, even ourselves...maybe then we could experience life with a purity so many of us search for.
No Lilies is an exploration of just that; of finding the strength to reject everyone else’s wants, and putting yourself first to encounter your life with complete transparency and truth.
This is a piece that was written as part of Flush Ink Productions’ annual “Write or Flight” program. It was performed both in Flush Ink Productions’ Unhinged Festival of Disturbing Theatre, and the Guelph Fringe Festival in which it was awarded Outstanding Performance.
