Our April / May Production is
"AWAY"
by Michael Gow
directed by Madeleine Sheehy
This will be presented on the dates listed below
AWAY is set to the background of post-war baby-boom Australia when Australians were preoccupied with Vietnam and the divisions within society. With an elegant simplicity and a finely tuned sense of humor, Michael Gow traces three ordinary, yet very different, families setting off on their Christmas holidays during the summer of 1967-68.
The themes of reconciliation and loss emerge as one family deals with the death of their son in the Vietnam War, another faces the prospect of losing their son through leukemia, and the other by their daughter simply growing up.
The families all head to the coast for their annual summer holidays to celebrate the new year and embark on a pilgrimage with great implications. All three families are brought together on the beach as a result of a violent storm where the process of healing begins.
AWAY is sharply observed, clever, funny and yet very moving.
