The Darling Buds of May
by
H. E. Bates
24th April - 2nd May 1998
The lovable, irrepressible Larkin family who live in Kent 'somewhere
at the end of the rainbow' made their debut in the novel The Darling
Buds of May in 1957 and went on to further delight and beguile
audiences both on stage and screen. Pop, who makes a fortune from
a variety of deals but has never paid income tax, lives in rural idyllic
bliss with generous-hearted Ma and their six children. When a young earnest
tax official, MrCharlton, turns up one hot May afternoon in 1957 to investigate,
he is bewitched immediately by eldest daughter Mariette and it isn't long
before he succumbs to the boisterous Larkin family charm and largesse.
Director: Gill Taylor
