The Year 10 Theatre Ensemble are proud to present their contemporary interpretation of Cloudstreet, by Nick Enright and Justin Monjo; a text that beautifully captures the essence of post-war life in Western Australia.
A sprawling stage adaptation of Tim Winton’s award-winning novel, Cloudstreet chronicles the lives of two working class Australian families - the Pickles and the Lambs - who come to live together in a large house called Cloudstreet in Perth over a period of twenty years, from 1943 - 1963. Winton's book is adapted by playwrights Nick Enright and Justin Monjo into a script that authentically represents the story - a play about finding one’s place in the world and the search for meaning in life.
This challenging and iconic text will be brought to life through the expert direction of Theatre teachers, Tony Brockman and Brad Jennings, with a talented cohort of Year 10 Theatre students who will bring their creative vision for the play to life in the QACI Theatre. Featuring a stunning set and technical design, this imagining of the text will draw upon conventions of Magical Realism to delight and entertain audiences.
This play is suitable for audiences Years 7 and older; it contains some low-level coarse language and sexual references as well as mature themes.
