Good Works (1996 - Tour)

By Nick Enright

29 August 1996 – 07 September 1996 The Space

Playbox Theatre Company,

Theatre Remount Tour

Provides a window into the lives of two Irish Catholic families, the Donovans and the Kennedys. Spanning several decades and three generations, this story exposes some of the darker moments that colour many of our family histories. By turns angry, incisive, tender and tragic, Good Works is Nick Enright's most complex and most personal play.

This production was also presented by the Sydney Theatre Company at The Warf (11 October - 9 November).

 

"ENRIGHT HAS FASHIONED AN EXTREMELY COMPLEX, DIFFICULT AND POWERFUL PLAY, EMOTIONALLY CHARGED, INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGING. IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT DESTINED TO BECOME A MAJOR WORK IN THE AUSTRALIAN THEATRE." 

– Sydney Morning Herald
