A successful painter leaves Paris to return to the village in central France where he was born more than 50 years ago. Since the death of his parents the unoccupied house has been surrounded by gardens that the painter has neither the will nor the know-how to cultivate. To his great surprise his ad for a gardener is answered by an old friend from primary school. A mature, friendly bond develops between the two men that is enriched by the different experiences they have had in life. The gardener’s directness and the genuine spontaneity of his worldly wisdom, in particular, captivates the metropolitan, who takes a new view of life, love, and of vegetables and funerals.
The rest of the superb season continues with 32A & Kisses (double bill) on Sunday 15th March, Let’s Talk about the Rain on Sunday 22nd March, The Lemon Tree on Sunday 29th March and Summer on Sunday 5th April, all of which can be pre-booked on line at www.garterlane.ie or 051-855038 – NO BOOKING FEE APPLIES!
