Crystal Clear by Falkland L Cary and Phillip King

This was described as a "broad comedy" and produced by Aubrey A Brown for Thursday 13 December and Friday 14 December 1962.  Naturally, we were still performing at the Wyong Youth Hall.

Ever since her husband died in a boating accident Jane Shaw rules her stationers and newsagent shop with a rod of iron and her browbeaten son Craig as well.  Her late husband (Sam Shaw) disappeared into the waters of Sefton Bay two years ago while on a fishing expedition with Willie Wilkinson.  Alcohol was involved.

The play opens on the second anniversary of the late Sam's death.  Craig is in love with the young shop assistant Penny Matthews (who was introduced into the fold by the late Sam) but is too afraid to tell his mother.  Penny and Craig decide that Jane would be better if there was a man in her life and they persuade one of the customers to propose to her.  Much to his shock she accepts. Then, the supposedly dead husband turns up!
