Rejected by the 1962 Adeladie Festival Board of Governors as
‘unappetising fare’ - The Ham Funeral is now considered a modern
classic. Set in a squalid British boarding house, the play tells the
story of a young poet, who lodges with Mr and Mrs Lusty, a bloated,
gluttonous pair. When her husband dies abruptly, Mrs Lusty announces a
grand funeral featuring a lavish feast, in his honour. Driven by her
incontinent appetite, she attempts to seduce the young poet, with
comically tragic consequences.
