Lilies on the Land
Shinfield Players Theatre, SPT
As with most Ayckbourn plays; family relationships and time lines featured greatly in this classic. I found the plot rather slow to get going and I wasn’t sure at the end whether it actually achieved anything!
This is (in my opinion) not one of his most inspiring scripts. The humour such as it was, was subtle and in short supply.
However; that said you could not take away the excellent acting and dramatic interpretation of the cast. They cleverly brought the plot to life developing their characters and the relationships therein.
