Wednesday to Come Trilogy

Renee’s three seminal New Zealand plays Wednesday to Come, Pass it On and Jeannie Once are published together for the first time. In Wednesday To Come Renee takes four women of four generations in a single family and looks at how they cope with the Great Depression of the 1930s.
In Pass It On, Jeannie and Cliff, the two adolescents joined the hunger march in Wednesday to Come, have each grown up and married. Pass It On explores the very different experiences of Jeannie, the political activist, and Cliff’s wife Nell, and traces their relationship from initial distrust to a firm allegiance against the political and economic forces which threaten their families.
Jeannie Once, tells the story of Jeannie’s great grandmother living in Victorian era Dunedin.
