When The Rain Stops Falling

Alice Springs. 2039. It’s been raining for days. A fish falls from the sky and lands at the feet of Gabriel York. His estranged son comes seeking answers, to understand the past. But for Gabriel York the past is as mysterious as the fish.

When The Rain Stops Falling takes place between the claustrophobia of a small 1950s London flat to the windswept coast of Australia and into the heart of the Australian desert. Crossing continents and spanning four generations, this contemporary family saga delves into the past and reaches into the future, bringing to light the enduring impact of collective and individual action.

The first new play from Andrew Bovell (Lantana, Holy Day) in five years, When The Rain Stops Falling was acclaimed as the theatrical hit of the 2008 Adelaide Festival, bewitching audiences with its intelligence and multi-layered brilliance.
