THERE CAN BE MIRACLES

WRITTEN BY TOA FRASER
PERFORMED BY MADELEINE SAMI

We’re going to make this place come alive.

Today is the hottest day of the year and Nanna Maria wants a feast. She wants all of the grandkids here, but none of her children - they’re all “bloody useless”. She wants a big, long table outside and a pig on a spit. She wants to make it real flash, she wants tablecloths and stuff. And a priest. She wants spirits dancing, squabbles in the kitchen and bitching in the backyard. And some beers, And she doesn’t want anyone to go hungry. She just wants the miracle of family. Because today Nanna Maria is going to name her successor.
