WHEN THE RAIN STOPS FALLING by Andrew Bovell
Photography ǀ Wend Lear & Jeff Busby
“one of the most arresting productions of the past decade in Australian theatre”
Variety
“Chris Drummond has pushed his cast to their absolute limits… (they) bring the theatre to the edge of their seats and potentially to the verge of breaking down.”
Australian Stage Online
“Unabashed and ambitious theatre… …a cast of actors whose control and comprehension of the material is breathtaking… scenes of heartbreaking and hilarious honesty… The final outcome, for those who have undergone the journey with this ordinarily extraordinary bunch, is sad and exhilarating, sobering and unexpectedly comical, bittersweet and unforgettable.”
