1 The Right Words on the Day Kevin Summers , 2022 single work drama

'A woman rehearses her mother’s funeral oration. A potted history of a difficult relationship. But is it truthful? What has been omitted? What has been varnished? In the minutes before the public eulogy, the woman’s psyche seeks clarity. In doing so, she faces the spectre of her mother. Was the relationship so malignant? Was the family unit so ruptured by lost ambition and betrayal? Might anything be salvaged? Will these be the right words on the day?'

'Patient 12 is set in an office in a Melbourne military hospital, in the years immediately following World War I. The play examines a neglected period of Australia's history through the prism of the kith and kin of those who went to war and either failed to return, or came back physically and/or emotionally scarred.'
