the 5 actors worked beautifully as an ensemble. Judy Cromwell (I am a fan) fantastic! But so were all the others. Loved the song too. Saw it YouTube and their website www.lilacbloomsplay.com
We are a small amateur theatrical group. We loved it and will attempt to stage it soon.
Great story...as is the amazing play version of it currently being performed in London. A 'must see,' especially Sally Farmiloe in lead role.
