Irish at Heart
By Helen Wyngard
Season July 1998
Venue Belconnen Theatre
TheStory
After many years in Australia, Jack Devlin dies and his eldest son, Dermot, takes him home to Ireland for burial, but this does not please all the family members back in the old country.
After so long away, Dermot is incredulous at the events which occur after he arrives but what eventually transpires shows that he is still 'Irish at Heart'.
A marvellous mixture of heart-warming and rib-tickling moments, this cleverly written play will give amusement even to those without a drop of Irish blood (or Irish whisky) in their veins.
