Flowers

By Deborah Porter

Directed by Heather Braaten

A story of a woman in northern Ontario who gives birth to identical quintuplets in 1934, altering her family’s dynamics. Years later, the quintuplets visit their dying mother and reflect on their shared identity shaped by joy and tragedy. The drama explores the struggle for individuality among sisters perceived as one unit, posing the question: Can five truly be one? Inspired by the Dionne quintuplets—cultural icons—the play highlights their triumphs and challenges in forming distinct identities within societal expectations.
