PlotOola Maguire, a bookie, holds a party every St. Teresa's Day. The guests are the people she has quarrelled with in the past year, and there is only one rule – firearms must be parked in the hall. Her daughter Thelma is brought home from the convent she attends with two nuns. BackgroundIt won a National Playwrights Competition in 1958 and was produced in Sydney the following year by the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust.[1][2] Kenna revised the play in 1972.[3] 1960 Australian TV Adaptation{{Infobox film| name = The Slaughter of St Theresa's Day | image = | image size = | caption = | director = Alan Burke | producer = | writer = Peter Kenna | based on = play by Peter Kenna | starring = Neva Carr Glynn | music = | cinematography = | editing = | distributor = ABC | released = 23 March 1960[4] | runtime = 75 mins | country = Australia | language = English | budget = }} It was filmed by the ABC on 23 March 1960 at a time when local drama production was rare. The spelling of the title was "Theresa's Day" not "Teresa's Day" like the play. Neva Carr Glyn reprised the role which Kenna had written for her.[5] Cast
ReceptionThe Australian Woman's Weekly called it "excellent entertainment."[6] The critic for the Sydney Morning Herald thought the play "lost little of its waywardness and some of its liveliness in a television production" and had faults with the play ("Kenna seems unable to settle decisively on one theme and to develop it boldly enough to carry his admirable intentions and considerable ability") but felt it was a "very worthwhile production, organised with some tact and imagination by Alan Burke."[7] 1962 British TV adaptation{{Infobox film| name = The Slaughter of St Teresa's Day | image = | image size = | caption = | director = | producer = John Jacobs | writer = Peter Kenna | based on = | starring = Susannah York | music = | cinematography = | editing = | distributor = | released = 1962 | runtime = | country = United Kingdom | language = English | budget = }} The play was filmed by the BBC in 1962.
