Local theatre group Remarkable Theatre will perform ‘Away’ by Michael Gow in the Arrowtown Athenaeum Hall

Local theatre group Remarkable Theatre will perform ‘Away’ by Michael Gow in the Arrowtown Athenaeum Hall over six nights between 12 and 22 September. The show starts at 7.30pm with a live band, Versificator,  performing 60s classics from 7.00pm.

‘Away’ is regarded as one of Australasia’s greatest classics. In the summer of 1967/68, three families from very different social backgrounds head to the beach to get away.

3 mothers – one recovering from the loss of a child, one fearing the loss of her own and one learning to let go are each determined to take this holiday as a restful time, but the pressures of family secrets gather into a storm.  The play is dramatic, funny and uplifting. It is directed by Lisa Warrington, one of New Zealand’s most well-renowned theatre directors.
