Description A rich, savoury comedy in two acts, with six male and one female parts, very much in the Irish and Sean O'Casey tradition and set in a Sydney boarding house under threat of sale, the play is woven all around a central concern for ordinary people and their lives. Funny, and a sad allegory, and a splendid piece of theatre.
