Flower Girls is the funny, beautifully observed and uplifting story
of a group of disabled women who live and work at The Crippleage,
Edgware. Inspired by the personal testimony and reminiscences of
real-life Flower Girls, the play shifts effortlessly between the
unsettled early years of World War II and the seemingly more
liberated world of 1965. Their stories reveal an indomitable spirit
and a fierce determination to find their place in the world, a
world that prefers to keep them at a safe distance. "A red button.
From a red coat...I collected them. From every coat of every new
arrival at the orphanage, before they were sold to the rag man. And
I would wait until they were at their homesick worst. A penny to
hold it, a shilling to keep it." Britain's foremost disabled-led
theatre company Graeae joins forces with The New Wolsey Theatre
Ipswich to present the world premiere of this play on 5 October
2007. The play is published as a programme text to coincide with
the production.
