Post Felicity
By Ben Ellis
23 April 2002 – 04 May 2002 Beckett Theatre
Playbox Theatre Company,
New Writing Theatre World Premiere
An hilarious and savage satire of three baby-boomers fighting over a legacy of their own making.
A middle-aged couple are informed of their daughter's suicide. The parent's response is baffling, almost repugnant. Their concern is only for themselves; they do not grieve for their daughter, Felicity, but reminisce about their own lost youth. The parents then engage in the surreal exercise of composing their own version of Felicity's suicide note.
Winner of the inaugural Malcolm Robertson Prize and the Patrick White Playwrights’ Award.
"POST FELICITY IS A DELIGHTFUL PIECE OF ABSURDIST THEATRE."
