Sam Cree, is probably Northern Ireland’s most popular playwright, although no longer with us his comedies are guaranteed to ‘pack them in.’ The Gateway Theatre is regarded as some of the best exponents of his plays and a little known fact is that they did premier one of his plays, ‘Sink or Slim,’ something they are justly proud of. The above picture was taken when Sam visited the cast of ‘Sink or Slim.’

we lived next to the cree’s in the mid 60’s. we came from the US when my father helped start the Goodyear factory outside lurgan. we grew up with his son and others in the neighborhood. is there a way to find out what happened to his son or maybe a site that chronicals his life that might help me locate him.
thanks
