Rainbow's End by Jane Harrison

10 Aug 2019 to 1 Sep 2019

An inspiring story of hope and resilience from Australia’s First Peoples. 

Set against the Queen’s visit in the 1950’s, acclaimed playwright, Jane Harrison (Stolen), pens a tender and funny telling of one family’s struggle for community acceptance in the Menzies era of Australia. 

Three generations of the Dear family live together in a rundown shack on the Goulburn River flats.

Gladys yearns for a better life, a real home and a decent job. Her teenage daughter Dolly has dreams of becoming a nurse, while her resilient grandmother, Nan Dears, is resistant to change. Dolly falls for Errol, a travelling salesman, whose offer of another world sees their lives take an unexpected turn. 

“[Rainbow’s End] quietly makes its point, leaving you aware and impressed by the staunchness of these women, the gains they made and the dignity with which they dealt with hardship” – Sydney Morning Herald

Beautifully crafted, elegantly scripted… “ – Australian Stage

“ A touching pot of theatrical gold…”- The Examiner

Produced by Darlinghurst Theatre Company in association with Moogahlin Performing Arts.
