Synopsis
Sometimes shocking, frequently humorous, often surreal. Snapdragons is a story of two sisters, each of whom is looking for love and salvation in their different ways.
Growing up unhappily in post-war rural Ireland, Bernadette is disliked - for reasons she cannot understand - by her parents, and a has a running feud with her sister.
She makes her escape to Birmingham, where her sister Deirdre has settled with her husband. There the difficult relationship between the two sisters is further strained when Bernie discovers how Deirdre is living. Meanwhile, Bernie comes to terms with the teeming activity that revolves around the pub in Digbeth End where she works and lives.
All the time she carries on a bizarre and angry dialogue with God.
