The Flowers of May is an intimate and moving stage production inspired by the true story of two parents raising a child with autism. Blending humour with unflinching honesty, the play explores the emotional terrain of parenting a child with autism—from the chaos of daily routines to the quiet, deeply felt victories that shape family life. At its heart, it’s a story of partnership and perseverance, revealing how love, empathy, and resilience sustain two people facing the unknown together.

The play invites audiences into a world where every challenge is matched by moments of grace, where laughter coexists with vulnerability, and where the bonds of family are tested—and strengthened—in profound ways.

The Flowers of May speaks to anyone who’s ever had to navigate uncharted emotional territory and find meaning in the journey.
