How often: Once Only

A young poet moves into a squalid rooming house run by Mr and Mrs Lusty, a bloated, gluttonous pair. When her husband dies abruptly, Mrs Lusty announces a grand funeral featuring a lavish feast, "an 'am funeral", in his honour.

Driven by her incontinent appetite, she attempts to seduce the young poet, with comically tragic consequences.

Part vaudeville, part lyric poem, and part gothic drama, The Ham Funeral now enjoys legendary status as one of the most intriguingly original plays in Australian theatre history.
