The drama, ‘The Dear Departed’ is written by Stanley Houghton.
Though it was written in the 20th century, it is apt for today’s setting.
The author satirises the relationship of the two daughters, Amelia and Elizabeth and their father Abel Merryweather. The daughters are more concerned about materialistic gains than the well being of their father, whom they eagerly assume to be dead.
It is true in the present context, where one finds more nuclear families and an increasing number of old age homes.
