AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A funeral is about to take place in the suburban family home of Johnny, a flamboyant and beguiling actor most recently from Sydney. His body is in the house and is lying unseen in a cardboard coffin in the next room. The start time has been delayed and three of Johnny’s friends from different times of his life meet. They share stories and search for reasons why their friend drank himself to death. They are feeling angry and guilty and look for comfort and redemption. Much is revealed about Johnny.'
