Play review - "The Slaughter of St Teresa's Day" by Peter Kenna (1958)

 Half a classic - fantastic characters and set up, great Aussie dialogue, and enough incident (daughter wants to be a nun, man just out of prison goes after mother and daughter, the boys drink, guns in the drawer). There's two men just out of prison, too much time is spent on Uncle Paddy's monologues. I feel it would've been better if Oona or Thelma had shot Horrie. But a solid piece of work. Grant Taylor was Horrie in the original production.
