A Happy And Holy Occasion
27 February 1993 – 20 March 1993 Merlyn Theatre
Playbox Theatre Company,
Theatre Remount
First staged in 1976, the play is an account of a doomed family party held in Newcastle on Friday 13 February, the eve of the eldest son's entrance into a seminary, and the fall of Singapore. It is a portrait of family interdependence and the Irish-Australian heritage of romanticism, ebullient humour, guilt and vulnerability.
