A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A heartrending drama about family, betrayal and forgiveness, spanning four generations and two hemispheres. From the writer of the award-winning film Lantana.

When the Rain Stops Falling moves from the claustrophobia of a London flat in 1959 to the windswept coast of southern Australia, and into the heart of the Australian desert in 2039.

It interweaves a series of connected stories as seven people confront the mysteries of their past in order to understand their future, revealing how patterns of betrayal, love and abandonment are passed on. Until finally, as the desert is inundated with rain, one young man finds the courage to defy the legacy.

Présentation de l'éditeur

A new play from the award winning writer of Lantana. 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 spans seventy years, several generations and half the world. Fractured into a myriad of tiny episodes, and told against the background of increasingly apocalyptic weather, notably incessant rain, this is a magnificently involving story about the ambivalence of the heritage that each generation passes on to the next.
