This Old Man Comes Rolling Home
http://dbpedia.org/resource/This_Old_Man_Comes_Rolling_Home an entity of type: Thing
This Old Man Comes Rolling Home, Dorothy Hewett's first full-length play, was written in 1965. It captures the spirit and character of Redfern, an inner-city suburb of Sydney sometimes called "Australia's last slum". The play is ‘slice of life', following about six months in the life of the Dockertys, an extended family of seven children and partners, during the early 1950s. The family is subject to various stresses: most significantly because the mother is an alcoholic, largely lost in dreams of her youth.

The family is subject to various stresses: most significantly because the mother is an alcoholic, largely lost in dreams of her youth. The play is as much about language as plot, and contains engaging and humorous quotations in the Australian idiom of the time. The dialogue consists of interactions between the family members, or it evokes a mystical Sydney expressed by a chorus of old ladies and an Old Man.
