Сюжет
Пьеса жалғыз ана Беатрис және оның екі қызы – Рут пен Тиллиден тұратын, өмірдегі қиындықтармен күресуге тырысатын дисфункционалдық отбасының тағдырына арналған. Пьеса – Теннеси Уильямс стилін еске түсіретін лирикалық драма. Ұялшақ Матильда Хунсдорфер, Тилли лақап атымен танымал, радиоактивті сәулеленген тұқымнан өсірген барқыт гүлдерімен ғылыми жәрмеңкеге тәжірибе дайындап жатыр. Бірақ, оған өзіне бейім және қатыгез анасы Беатрис, сондай-ақ анасының ықпалына бағынатын, көңілді және тұрақсыз әпкесі Рут үнемі кедергі келтіреді. Пьеса барысында Беатрис өзінің өміріндегі жетіспеушіліктеріне байланысты Тиллидің сәттілікке жетуінің кез келген мүмкіндігін жоюға тырысады. Пьеса дами келе үш кейіпкердің жолдары айырылады: Рут Беатриске қарсы тұруға тырысқанда нервтік ауруға шалдығады, ал Беатрис, өзінің терең тамырданған жек көрушілігінен ақыл-есінен айырылып, қыздардың үй жануары – Питерді импульсивті түрде өлтіріп, өзінің маңызды еместігіне көнеді. Ал Тилли (оның жобасындағы деформацияланған, бірақ әдемі және мықты барқыт гүлдері сияқты) табандылығының арқасында ғылыми жәрмеңкеде жеңіске жетеді.
The play revolves around a dysfunctional family consisting of single mother Beatrice and her two daughters, Ruth and Tillie, who try to cope with their abysmal status in life. The play is a lyrical drama, reminiscent of Tennessee Williams' style. Shy Matilda Hunsdorfer, nicknamed Tillie, prepares an experiment involving marigolds raised from seeds exposed to radioactivity for her science fair. She is, however, constantly thwarted by her mother Beatrice, who is self centered and abusive, and by her extroverted and unstable sister Ruth, who submits to her mother's will. Over the course of the play, Beatrice constantly tries to stamp out any opportunities Tillie has of succeeding, due to her own lack of success in life. As the play progresses, the paths of the three characters diverge: Ruth has a nervous collapse while attempting to stand up to Beatrice, who, driven to the verge of insanity by her deep seated enmity, impulsively kills the girls' pet rabbit Peter and wallows in her own perceived insignificance. Tillie meanwhile (much like her project's deformed yet beautiful, hardy marigolds) wins the science fair through sheer perseverance.
Кейіпкерлер
Матильда "Тилли" Хансдорфер – пьесаның басты кейіпкері. Мектепте келеке-шөлекеге ұшыраған, тыныш және ішке қарайтын мінезді қыз. Ол өмірін ғылыммен айналысу арқылы, философиялық аянға жету үмітімен күреседі. Жеке басына деген талмай ізденісі анасының отбасына толық бақылау орнату ниетіне ашық қарсы келеді. Осының салдарынан, ол зорлық-зомбылықтың ең ауыр соққысын алады. Тиллидің Питер есімді қояны бар, оны ғылым мұғалімі Гудман мырза сыйлаған.
Matilda "Tillie" Hunsdorfer The main protagonist of the play. A quiet and introverted character who is teased at school. She copes with her life by immersing herself in science, hoping to reach a philosophical epiphany. Her untiring quest for her individuality stands in open defiance of her mother's wish for total control over the family. Consequently, she receives the brunt of the abuse. Tillie also owns a rabbit named Peter, given to her by her science teacher, Mr. Goodman. Ruth Hunsdorfer Tillie's older sister. A brash but confused adolescent, she looks to others for advice, but often gains this insight from Beatrice, who she favors in several ways. On many occasions, she paints Tillie as the crazy one, and suffers from epilepsy and night terrors. She also takes a liking to Tillie's pet rabbit, to the point where she blackmails Tillie for possession of the rabbit by threatening to tell their mother what the adults at the school call her—"Betty the Loon." Beatrice Hunsdorfer Tillie's and Ruth's mother. A single mother whose life has gone awry, she copes with it through self loathing, cynicism, and drug abuse, and by verbally (and at times physically) abusing her two daughters, which is not shown in the film. As the play's main antagonist, Beatrice is mainly narcissistic, domineering, and lethally short tempered, which is only worsened by the drugs. However, her plight is sympathetic, as her past reveals a life spiraling steadily downward from serendipitous circumstances, leading her to self destruction. Memorable actresses who played the leading role include Eileen Heckart, Sada Thompson, Shelley Winters, Helena Carroll, Joan Blondell and Joanne Woodward. Mr. Goodman Tillie's science teacher. He serves as a mentor to Tillie. Mr. Goodman is mentioned on many occasions, but never seen, although the dialogue often implies that he is the only positive role model in Tillie's life. Nanny An elderly boarder in the Hunsdorfer household. Silent throughout, she does not contribute much beyond being yet another burden to the already stressed out Beatrice who verbally abuses her as she does her daughters. Veteran actress Judith Lowry played "Nanny" in nearly every production of the play, including TV, Off Broadway and the movie. During the off Broadway run, even though her character never spoke any lines in the play, she became a popular guest on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, which led to late stardom as a series regular on Phyllis with Cloris Leachman. Mr Frank Beatrice's father. A deceased vegetable vendor. After his wife (Beatrice's mother) died, he raised Beatrice on his own. Although he had a lowly status, Beatrice holds him in high regard—"He makes up for all the men in the world"—and smiles imagining her daughters meeting him. Janice Vickery Tillie's rival at the science fair. Her experiment involved boiling the skin off a dead cat so she may use its skeleton. She plans to use a dog in her next science fair project.
Рут Хунсдорфер – Тиллидің үлкен әпкесі. Дүркіреп, бірақ санасыз жасөспірім, ол кеңес іздеу үшін басқаларға жүгінеді, бірақ көбінесе Беатристен осы түсінікті алады, оны бірнеше жағынан артық көреді. Көп жағдайда ол Тиллиді естен танғандай көрсетеді, сонымен қатар эпилепсия мен түнгі қорқыныштардан зардап шегеді. Ол сондай-ақ Тиллидің қоянына қызығушылық танытады, тіпті Тиллиді қоянды беру үшін шантаж жасайды, мектептегі ересектер оны "Бетти Луон" деп атайтынын айтумен қорқытады.

Беатрис Хунсдорфер – Тилли мен Руттың анасы. Өмірі дұрыс бағытта болмаған жалғыз ана, ол өзін жек көру, цинизм, есірткіге тәуелділік және екі қызын сөзбен (кейде физикалық) қорлау арқылы күреседі, бірақ бұл фильмде көрсетілмейді. Пьесаның басты антагонисті ретінде Беатрис негізінен нарциссистік, үстемдік танытады және қатты ашуға бейім, бұл есірткілердің әсерінен одан да нашарлайды. Дегенмен, оның жағдайы түсінікті, өйткені оның өткені өмірінің құлдырауынан тұрақты түрде төмендегенін көрсетеді, бұл өзін-өзі жоюға әкеледі. Басты рөлді ойнаған есте қаларлық актрисалар: Эйлин Хеккарт, Сада Томпсон, Шелли Винтерс, Хелена Кэрролл, Джоан Блонделл және Джоан Вудвард.

Гудман мырза – Тиллидің ғылым мұғалімі. Ол Тиллиге кеңесші болады. Гудман мырза туралы пьесада көп айтылады, бірақ оны ешқашан көруге болмайды, алайда диалог көбінесе оның Тиллидің өміріндегі жалғыз оң үлгі екенін көрсетеді.

Нанни – Хансдорферлер отбасындағы қарт қонақ. Ол үндемейді, тек Беатриске, қыздарын қорлайтын Беатриске тағы бір ауыртпалық болады. Көп жылдар бойы Джудит Лоури "Нанни" рөлін пьесаның барлық қойылымдарында ойнады, соның ішінде теледидарда, Бродвейден тыс және кинода. Бродвейден тыс қойылымдар кезінде, оның кейіпкері пьесада ешқашан сөйлемегеніне қарамастан, ол Джонни Карсонның "Tonight Show" бағдарламасында танымал қонаққа айналды, бұл Филис Клорис Личманмен бірге серияның тұрақты мүшесі ретінде кеш жұлдыздылыққа жеткізді.
