Breakdown
Alice Springs in the year 2039. A fish falls from the sky and lands at the feet of Gabriel York. And it still smells of the sea. It's been raining for days, and Gabriel knows something is wrong. Fifty years earlier, his grandfather, Henry Law, predicts that fish will fall from the sky heralding a great flood which will end life on earth as we know it. In an intricate, multi-layered story that spans four generations and two continents, When the Rain Stops Falling explores patterns of betrayal, abandonment, destruction, forgiveness and love. This powerful drama unfolds with humanity, surprising humor and hope, as the past plays out into the future.
The play takes place over the course of eighty years from 1959 – 2039:
- In a room in Alice Springs in the year 2039
- In a room in London during the 1960’s
- In the same room in London in 1988
- In the Coorong in 1988
- At Uluru in 1988
- In a room and a park in Adelaide in 2013
