Overview
IS A PEACEFUL FAMILY GATHERING TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR ON YOUR BIRTHDAY?
Roger is turning 70. No gifts and no fuss. Quality family time. That’s all he wants from his wife, Sue, and their three children. Maybe some balloons. It is a party after all.
But Emily, Lisa and Michael have other ideas. Emily is on a mission to save Saba, a detention centre escapee. All they need are the keys to dad’s holiday home and they’ll be on their way. Michael has found religion and is now following God’s plan. Lisa’s marriage has fallen apart with new love found in Noeline, a Border Force boat Commander. A simple family birthday get together, right?
It’s like your worst family Christmas lunch where deeply held beliefs are pulled apart and longheld resentments resurface. Crackling dialogue, perceptive insight and fierce humour that skewers hypocrisy. Classic David Williamson.
