The Play
"Getting Buried"is set in the family room of the French household
The family owns the local hardware store which is managed by
Terence French in Holybank, west of Dublin. His wife, Helen French
does the accounting and secretarial work. Terence owns 40%
of the business, his mother Statia owns 50%
and his sister
Hetty owns 10%.The play opens on the day Statia French dies
aged 93 and the family are beginning to gather for the funeral
There's Walter French (Terry"s uncle), Hetty (his sister), and Desmond
his brother and-oh yes-there's
Delia(Helens sister from Dublin.)
The play is full of surprises. When Hetty hires a detective to investigate
French Hardware she gets more than she bargained for, boy, did
she ever. While Delia and Terrence are planning for an
easy life in
the sun and the ever capricious Walter is dreaming in an equestrian
fantasy land,
along comes Desmond and throws a wrench in the works.
The shenanigans are hilarious but show the weak side of human nature
when sex and money are the driving factors.
The hardworking, trusting
Helen has her eyes opened for her and the scheming woebegone
Terence and Delia geet their just deserts. "And all's well that ends well"
