What happens
The Slaughter of St. Teresa's Day was a 1960 Australian TV play based on the 1959 stage play of the same name by Peter Kenna. It was filmed by the ABC and directed by Alan Burke on 23 March 1960 at a time when local drama production was rare. The spelling of the title was "Theresa's Day" not "Teresa's Day" like the play. Neva Carr Glyn reprised the role that Kenna had written for her. Extra scenes and characters were added from the play. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
