TIME: The Present
Gary and Ros, both recently divorced, and now married to each other
have decided to move away from the city and take up a few acres of land in the
South West of WA. At first all goes well. Their neighbours seem a little
eccentric but there are no real problems. They enjoy the space and freedom and
Gary finds out that he has a real talent for growing things.
The situation
changes when Gary’s sister, Bernice, arrives with a tale of woe about their
mother. It gets decidedly more problematical when Gary starts digging in the
old chook yard...
A Country Retreat is a comedy/drama that portrays ordinary people who
find themselves in extraordinary circumstances.
A reading will be held on Saturday 2 Feb at 2 pm at the theatre.
Auditions will be held on Saturday 9 Feb at 2 pm at the theatre.
The play will be directed by Peter Flanigan and Jann Rutherfird and
will be staged in May.
