When The Rain Stops Falling - Black Swan State Theatre Company - 26 September
2011
When The Rain Stops Falling will "knock your socks off"!
Alice Springs in the year 2039. A fish falls from the sky and lands at the feet
of Gabriel York.
It still smells of the sea. It’s been raining for days and Gabriel knows
something is wrong. Eighty years earlier, his grandfather, Henry Law, predicted
that, in 2039, fish would fall from the sky heralding a greatflood that would
overcome the human race. When The Rain Stops Falling takes place between the
worlds of these two men – between a prediction in 1959 and its outcome eighty
years later.
Through four generations of interconnected stories, from the claustrophobia of
a 1950s London flat to the desolate South Australian coast and into the desert
heart of Central Australia, Andrew Bovell creates a multi-layered tale of a
family for whom voices of the past echo into the future, telling of betrayal,
abandonment and love. When The Rain Stops Falling is epic yet intimate,
spellbinding and utterly exhilarating theatre.
Kalgoorlie-born writer Andrew Bovell is best known for his award-winning film
Lantana and for co-writing the original screenplay for Baz Luhrmann’s Strictly
Ballroom.
“I am very proud that Black Swan is presenting the WA premiere of this
beautiful and poignant story of guilt, hope and truth in Andrew’s home state.
When The Rain Stops Falling performed to rave reviews and sell-out crowds in
Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, London and New York, and I am delighted that Perth
will see a new production directed by Black Swan favourite, Adam Mitchell,
making his mainstage debut” Kate Cherry
