A Comedy by H. E. Bates - Directed by Helen AppletonSeptember 15th to 20th 2008 Synopsis
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 any income tax, lives in rural idyllic bliss with generous-hearted Ma and their six children. When a young earnest tax official, Mr Charlton, 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.
