Jeannie Once
RENEE
The eagerly-awaited completion to the trilogy begun by Wednesday to Come and Pass It On.
'Jeannie, whose great-granddaughter and namesake is to become one of the fighters and stayers in 51, is shown as a wonderfully solid woman, full of humour, compassion, and the Irish gift of the gab ... On Renee's achievement as a people's playwright it undoubtedly sets the seal.'—Helen Watson White, Dominion Sunday Times.
