Description
Cundill’s finely nuanced observations of the relationship between a dying mother and her ambitious developer son showed the audience why he was one of South Africa’s premier writers before migrating to Australia in 1987. Cundill illustrates how the one-act form, kept thematically simple and uncluttered, can pack a punch. The humour, well-placed and sparsely rendered, infused an otherwise dark topic with the wit and wisdom of a very human experience.

The Eulogy
AUD $30.00 – AUD $60.00 ex GST
Russell Hamilton-Myrtons, scion of a powerful Queensland dynasty, surprises his dying mother, Meredith, with a preview of the eulogy he intends to deliver at her funeral. The uncomfortable exercise unearths dark family secrets that completely transform their mother-son relationship, and delivers a powerful drama.
A perfect Festival play, that won The Nancy Cato Audience Choice Award at the Noosa National One Act Play Festival 2008, along with Best Actress, Director and Supporting Actor.
