Summer Rain (musical)
''Summer Rain'' is a musical with book and lyrics by Australian playwright Nick Enright and music by Terence Clarke. Set in New South Wales, Australia, it's Boxing Day 1945 in Turnaround Creek, an outback town. The dust settles as the town nurses their Christmas hangover. Harold Slocum and his family of the Slocum's Travelling Tent Show are down on their luck and become stranded. They're broke and desperate for an audience; they end up in Turnaround Creek. To the country folk, the prospect of a show is a welcome diversion, but Barry the publican at the Shamrock is strangely unwelcoming. He remembers the last time the Slocums were in the district. Emotions run high and the sedentary life of the town is disturbed by the remembrance of an illicit affair. The musical represses new life breathed into the rural community, and is altogether humorous and sensitive. Background Originally written in 1983 for Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art for the graduating students, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
