A SHORT SUMMARY OF "ON THE FACE OF IT"

A SHORT SUMMARY OF "ON THE FACE OF IT"




On the Face of It" by Susan Hill is a touching play that delves into themes of isolation and acceptance through the interaction between two characters, Mr. Lamb and Derry.

Mr. Lamb is an elderly man with a positive outlook on life despite his physical disability—he has a tin leg. Derry, a young boy, struggles with severe facial scars from an acid burn and harbors deep insecurities and resentment towards the world. Their paths cross when Derry, seeking solitude, stumbles into Mr. Lamb's garden.

Through their conversations, Mr. Lamb encourages Derry to look beyond his physical appearance and embrace life more fully. He shares wisdom about overcoming loneliness and finding beauty in the world. Mr. Lamb's warmth and openness begin to break down Derry's emotional barriers, offering him a new perspective on life and self-acceptance.

The play ends on a poignant note, highlighting the impact of their brief but meaningful connection. "On the Face of It" serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy, understanding, and the human need for connection.
