Garry McDonald and Henri Szeps are reunited for the first time since the hit ABC television comedy Mother and Son, in this award-winning drama about two very different men with one surprising thing in common.
The classic grumpy old man, Joseph Halpern (Henri Szeps) is a recent widower who seems incapable of expressing his sense of loss and love for his deceased wife Florence.
At her graveside he is joined by a stranger, Dennis Johnson (Garry McDonald), who unexpectedly describes Florence with more affection than just a dear, departed friend…
With warmth and wit, Lionel Goldstein’s play explores the complex web of marriage and friendship, secrets and lies, mixing sharp human insight with cracking humour.
