The play, written by Amba Chevannes, is showing in Glasgow, Scotland at the Oran Mors Theatre as part of their lunchtime theatre programme titled 'A Play, a Pie and a Pint'.

According to the theatre's official website, they "produce the work of many of Scotland's best-known writers, as well as presenting the work of new young playwrights"....

It describes Chevannes' work as that which "takes us into the hidden spaces of our societies and invite us, through laughter and tears, to face our own humanity."

The Last Bloom is a gripping drama that records the events in the life of the character Cynthia, who moves into a nursing home where she shares a room with the overbearing Myrtle.

A battle ensues between both women, with each struggling over the right to each other's pasts and memories.

Chevannes told The Gleaner she felt honoured by the whole experience. more
