Synopsis: | The first half focuses on the Edwards sisters, five orphans evacuated from Swansea to Pontypridd under the guidance of the noble eldest, Nerys, who selflessly devotes her energies to bringing up her four younger siblings. Their girlish pranks are interrupted by the arrival of a French RAF trainee flyer Raymond. He instantaneously charms 18 year old Lillian and in three weeks, they are married. At the end of the war a few months later, Raymond returns to discover his wife pregnant. He sweeps her back home to meet his parents and there, tragedy meets comedy with the introduction of Lillian to his stern Gallic Mother. The play then develops into a kind of extended mother-in-law nightmare, impeccably realised by a company that believes in creating simple, naturalistic effects that speak volumes, even across a language barrier. | |||||
