Synopsis: This sprawling family drama spans four generations of dysfunction in one family’s lineage of secrets, abandonment, and searching for answers. It travels backwards and forwards through time as each generation struggles to come to terms with family, legacy, abandonment and betrayal, inherited secrets, and the search for connection and forgiveness. It starts with a prediction in London in 1959 and ends in Australia eighty years later.
The Director, Vicki Smith, originally started out as an actor but she has also staged many successful productions, from classic to modern, across a number of theatre groups in Melbourne. While she has loved some of the period plays she has directed with realistic and detailed sets and beautiful costumes, she enjoys the challenge of staging modern pieces with a minimal set and limited furniture and props.
‘When the Rain Stops Falling’ is such a play. Bovell is a well-known playwright having written the play ‘Speaking in Tongues’ which was the basis for the successful film ‘Lantana’ and he also co-wrote the screenplay for ‘Strictly Ballroom’.
