Synopsis: | Lily and Daisy, two grandmothers, accidentally meet at a bus stop and while waiting find themselves discussing the flowers that have been attached there. The play concentrates on the two ladies and their conversation, while passers-by provide a contrast to their more traditional views and prompt their discussion on how the world has changed from when they were young. The distractions of a kissing couple and two men leave with the arrival of the elusive No 50. As the two ladies wait on, the real reason they are there is revealed - they have a secret in common. Performed. | |||||
