    D’Arcy Creswell
    Rose Garden Crematorium | March 1960 | 2:00pm
    ONE OF THOSE Walter D'Arcy Cresswell
    Written and performed by David Charteris
    Walter D'Arcy Cresswell: - self-proclaimed poetic genius, wife and
    child deserter, philosopher, sponger, scab, snob, sycophant, hypocrite,
    Directed by Mark Rayner
    interfering prig, blackmailer, and cad.
    He could well deserve the Shakespearian description:
    Technician - Austin Mason
    " God made him: let him pass for a man"
    Funny, tragic, and full of human interest, this is the story of Walter D'Arcy
    Cresswell, self-proclaimed "soldier/poet" and his relationship with
    Whanganui Mayor Charles Ewing Mackay.
    A compelling tale of the consequences of the relationship which happened
    exactly 100 years ago.
