🎭 The Story

The play follows David and Lisa, a couple whose expectations of parenthood are upended when their son, Conor, is diagnosed with autism. As they navigate the complexities of raising a child with ASD, they confront social stigmas, well-meaning but overbearing in-laws, and the isolation imposed by their community. Through moments of laughter, frustration, and love, David and Lisa discover what it truly means to be a family.

A powerful blend of humour and raw emotion, The Flowers of May shines a light on the realities of parenting a neurodiverse child, offering an authentic perspective that resonates with audiences everywhere.​​
