Title: Bea's niece
Description: "Anne Hirsch is the novelist and is also "Bea's niece". The Aunt, Anne's seventy-five year old Great Aunt Bea, advises us that etiquette and common sense require a woman to have on hand for all occasions: "...a bottle of whiskey, a well-oiled revolver and as the rarest of treats, a stainless steel syringe with just the tiniest supply of opium." With rigour and humour, the play deals with memory and grief, sanity and reality, psychology and spirituality."--BOOK JACKET.
