Lilly and May is a hard hitting comedy that exposes the myth of a romantic life on the
open road. The Bag lady has been potrayed in a popular mythology as a nuggety,
rebellious, independent – and sometimes even rich – woman – whose special brand
of madness has led her to prefer a free life on the streets, to Welfare or the
restrictions of responsible social life. For Lilly and May the reality is far from this
commonly held view of eccentricity.
