Don't let the year end without seeing this fantastic show -- come see what people and critics have been talking about before it's too late:

  

In its handsomely staged L.A. premier at Santa Monica's City Garage, Bovell's "When the Rain Stops Falling" traces this legacy of estrangement through four generations, linking the recent past to a near-future environmental apocalypse... Vivid impressions linger from Fr�d�rique Michel's fierce staging, which underscores the play's austere geometric narrative structure with underplayed, admirably uniform performances and abstract choreography...

LA WEEKLY (Mayank Keshaviah)

From a fish magically dropping from the sky at the outset to the literal unpacking of family history at an intergenerational "last supper" of sorts, the play rewards those with a temperament for non-linear storytelling... with a thought-provoking meditation on coping with the tragedies of life.

 

SANTA MONICA DAILY PRESS (Sarah Spitz) 

It's compelling theatre with an engaging plot... punctuated with the trademark artistic, choreographic and theatrical design elements that City Garage is renowned for, especially under the direction of Fr�d�rique Michel... Hidden emotions, silent bitterness, fear and distrust, deep love, deep hurt and dark secrets mark this emotional journey, told in language that is often poetic... I highly recommend "When The Rain Stops Falling" at City Garage...

A fish drops from the sky and a lonely middle-aged man is launched on a magical and emotional journey across four generations of family wrestling with the awful legacy of a secret buried deep in the past.

In this award-winning drama from Australian playwright Andrew Bovell, each of the characters is trapped in a longing they cannot bear. They reach toward each other, tentatively, uncertainly, but time after time fail to connect.

The tragic love story of a young Englishman, Gabriel, whose father has disappeared, and a young Australian girl from the Coorong, Gabrielle, is at the center of this haunting drama that reaches back to London in 1960 and reaches forward to Alice Springs in 2039-from a time when the world began to change, to a future in which environmental catastrophe is the harvest of that change.

Adult Themes.   

   
See you at the theatre!
