Flowers From Tunisia archiveReah - 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: as her hospital trips turn into luxury holidays and social workers and salesmen turn into long-lost relatives. When an old, recently-widowed friend of Reah's turns up in the hope of taking her on holiday to Tunisia to recapture the jaunts of their youth. Keith is fiercely opposed, although his mother has other ideas...Laurence Allan's play is a parable on memory, dramatised through the holiday romance between a Muslim flower seller and a seventy-year-old widow.
