A tender-hearted account of relationships and behaviour in a suburban pub bistro on a Friday night.
Two couples’ attempted infidelities begin a web of intersecting lives. A disappearance connects strangers through coincidences and concealed histories, exposing how distrust and longing shape their accounts of one another.
Narrated by Dhirrumbin, the play follows William Thornhill, exiled from eighteenth-century London with his family to the Hawkesbury River penal colony. He hopes to begin again there, but the Dharug people resist surrendering their land to the settlers.
When Rosie returns from a failed European gap-year romance, the Price family’s long-held fractures surface. Pip plans to leave her husband, Mia comes out as transgender, Ben’s financial fraud is exposed, and parents Fran and Bob confront the losses and disappointments of their marriage before Fran dies in a car crash.
Across four generations and two continents, an Australian family confronts abandonment, betrayal and inherited secrets. Gabriel York awaits his estranged son in a rain-soaked Alice Springs of 2039; the nonlinear action shifts among family members and earlier generations in Australia and London as they try to understand their shared past.
