Silent Night
28 Oct 2011 8:00 PM - 29 Oct 2011 8:00 PM
It's Christmas Day, and somewhere in Sunnynook, Irene McMunn is throwing a party! She's wrapped the presents, sorted the tree, now she's waiting for the guests to arrive…. Join Irene for her first Christmas in the unit, and make it one to remember, as she reflects on times gone by and regales us with a lifetime of golden memories - with some Christmas craft tips thrown in for good measure.
Silent Night is a flawless insight into a senior life lived solo. Yvette Parsons as Irene McMunn represents a generation of NZ women who came of age between the wars.
"Yvette Parsons delivers a tour-de-force performance as poignant as it is parodic…within seconds of her entrance Parsons has the crowd howling with laughter…Silent Night is a phenomenal play.” - John Smythe, Theatreview
