Halpern and Johnson

Joseph Halpern is mourning the loss of his wife Flo and taking a few minutes alone by her graveside when he is approached by a stranger, introducing himself as Dennis Johnson. As the two men talk Johnson reveals an affection for Florence that is more than that for a dear, departed friend and in so doing unravels a complex web of friendship, marriage, secrets and lies. Garry McDonald and Henri Szeps reunite for this award-winning drama about two very different men with one surprising thing in common.

Director: Mark Kilmurry
Designer: Nicholas Dare
Lighting Designer: Martin Kinnane
