National University Theatre Society presents
When the Rain Stops Falling by Andrew Bovell

1 May 2013 to 4 May 2013

Alice Springs in the year 2039. A fish falls from the sky and lands at the feet of Gabriel York. And it still smells of the sea. Gabriel’s past has always been a mystery, but perhaps it will be easier to explain than the fish…

 

As Gabriel grapples with his past, the stories of his ancestors are played out, and the terrible history of his family unravels. In an intricate, multi-layered story that spans four generations and two continents, When the Rain Stops Falling explores patterns of betrayal, abandonment, destruction, forgiveness and love.
