Andrew Bovell Writer
Nathan Crossan-Smith Director

Newlyweds in a London flat in 1959. A car wreck on a dirt road in the Coorong in 1988. A bedsit in Alice Springs in 2038. Flash flooding. A fish falls from the sky. Two families gather. The table is set. One kitchen table. Four generations. The same secret.

Andrew Bovell’s celebrated and delicately layered family saga crosses two hemispheres and multiple decades and will be performed by final-year students from our BA Acting cohort, directed by Nathan Crossan-Smith in a unique production blending drama and movement.
