Berry Drama Group Presents 'When the Rain stops Falling' by Andrew Bovell

Thursday 31 May 2012

The Berry Drama Group Presents 'When the Rain stops Falling' by Andrew Bovell Alice Springs in the year 2039. A fish falls from the sky and lands at the feet of Gabriel York. Eighty years earlier, his grandfather, Henry Law predicted that, in 2039, fish would fall from the sky heralding a great flood that would overcome the human race. ‘When the Rain Stops Falling’ takes place between the worlds of these two men – between a prediction in 1959 and its outcome eighty years later. Through four generations of interconnected stories, from the claustrophobia of a small 1950s London flat to the windswept coast of South Australia and into the heart of the Australian desert. ‘When the Rain Stops Falling’ is powerful storytelling in which the voices of our past echo into our future. The cast includes: Older Elizabeth: Susan McMurdo Younger Elizabeth: Fiona Pigott Older Gabrielle York: Karen Illesca Younger Gabrielle York: Kayla Davies Henry Law: Feargus Manning Gabriel Law: Nick Perritt Joe Ryan: Daniel Quinton Andrew Price: Michael Berzins Gabriele York: Bill Bourke 'When the Rain stops Falling' will be performed from July 25th - 28th at the Berry School of Arts. Tickets: $20, $15 concession and $25 for the Gala performance. Bookings: Berry Music Centre 44641284, 118 Queen Street Berry Those who attend the Gala performance night on July 25th will be treated to post-performance drinks and nibbles, and also have the opportunity to meet the cast. This is no intermission as this is a one act play, coffee and tea served after. We look forward to seeing you there, in support of the Berry Drama Group.
