After Mission of Flowers had faded to black and a standing ovation had been given, the house lights came up. It took at least 5 minutes for the audience to leave their seats, they were stuck.

An earnest performance from Leof Kingsford-Smith is not enough to distract from the fact that the epic sweep of this castaway tale has no business being a one-man show.

Mission of Flowers at Theatre Asylum by Ashley Steed~ “In life there are winners and losers. No in-betweens.” For pioneer aviator Bill Lancaster, he certainly wasn’t a winner; but after seeing Mission of Flowers by Gerry Greenland, I don’t think anyone would have the heart to say he was a...read more
