Overview
Already being hailed as an Australian classic, When The Rain Stops Falling by Andrew Bovell (Lantana, Strictly Ballroom) is a landmark theatrical event.
From the claustrophobia of a small 1950s London flat to the windswept coast of South Australia and into the heart of the Australian desert, this stunning epic spans four generations and two families living at opposite ends of the world yet bound together by a shared past.
When Gabriel Law retraces his father’s footsteps in an attempt to solve the mystery of his disappearance, he is forced to confront the truth of a family secret and find the strength to accept what has gone before, in order to follow a new life.
