Overview

Accepting the potentialities of the medium to manipulate both time and space, Broughton brings past and present head-on as he regards with adult feelings his childhood family and friends.

    "Mother was the loveliest woman in the world". "Mother wanted everything to be lovely". Using a series of embryonic lighting techniques, a lively piano-based score and a series of not altogether coherent mini-sketches, we are presented with what appear to be memories of a couple, of them falling in love, of her widowhood and then more courting.
