Sometimes all you can do is sit back and watch people make mistakes... The instant a person loves a person or a thing, they face the risk of losing that person or thing.
The Shearwater Year 11 Drama class of 2019 invites you to come and see their production of Debra Oswald's The Peach Season. Winner of the 2005 Rodney Seaborn Playwright's Award, The Peach Season is a powerful and moving story of desire, and the painful process of a mother's letting go.
After fleeing Sydney following the loss of her husband, Celia has spent 16 years on an isolated peach farm, hiding from the horrors of the world, in an effort to keep her daughter Zoe safe. But Zoe is chafing against Celia's protectiveness, and the arrival of two young people looking for picking work heralds the end of their remote existence. An intoxicating cocktail of heat, isolation, and the excitement of the forbidden, is destined to trigger youthful passions and bad decisions, changing Celia's world forever.
The play will be performed over two nights, June 26 and 27, in the Shearwater School Hall. The show starts at 7.30pm and will run for about two hours including an intermission. Tickets are $12 or $8 concession and will be available at the door. The play has a mature audience rating MA15+, due to strong themes and course language.
"The virtue of Oswald's funny and tender play is that it's deeply caring of people, irrespective of the mess they create or get themselves into.” (Sydney Morning Herald).
