Butterflies are Free
Reviewer said:
"The
play is beautifully and sensitively directed by Jacqui Burke, who
balances the humour and pathos in a near-perfect blend. In
collaboration with the two leads an atmosphere is created that is so
relaxed and casual you almost feel like a voyeur as the two talk,
flirt and start to fall in love."

Directed by J. A. Burke
Songwriter Don Baker, blind since
birth, wants his own apartment, free from his over-protective mother.
He befriends hippie actress Jill, who wants to live a life free of
commitment and responsibility. Don’s mother wants to bring her
son home. Don's dreams of independence, his mother’s hopes for
his future, and Jill's view of love and relationships all collide in
one day, as all three are forced to face their own fears. This touching
1969 comedy combines humour and heart, and was one of the
longest-running plays in Broadway history. In the early
70’s, it was adapted into a popular movie, with Goldie Hawn in
her first starring role.
