| Description | This deliciously funny, laugh-out-loud black comedy is filled with instantly recognisable characters, situations and scenarios that keeps the surprises coming until the very end.
Henri Szeps stars as Ron Patterson, a gruff, well ordered, quintessentially Aussie family man who is convinced he is dying in this “thigh-slapping” black comedy which gives the word “family” a whole new perspective and meaning. In a magnanimous gesture of loving finality, he hosts a party, giving his wife and children the chance to spend a few last quality moments as a family. Almost immediately we are plunged into a humorous night of family squabbles, jealousies and competition where a few home truths are disclosed and episodes lurch between poignant and outrageous. The gathering brings about some urgent confessions, a surprise ‘wedding’, and a visit from the undertaker. |
