| Description: | Sweet William is a slim trim 25-year-old gay man who returns home after a bitter absence of ten years to celebrate his sister=s wedding in the family garden. Everything is pretty much as he left it. His drunken and abusive father Mac is still tending the flower garden and not his family, while his mother Iris suffers in guilt-ridden silence. His grandmother Grace is even more senile and obsessively religious, the dog is blind and his chain-smoking, foul mouthed sister Rosemary is as warm and boisterous as ever. Nothing has changed, except for Sweet William. |
