Dry The Rain

ABOUT THE PLAY

Agnes and Clayton, a pair of life-long rebels, are consigned to a retirement home after he breaks his hip. Agnes works to accept their new life gracefully but Clayton “isn’t finished yet”. Unwilling to give in without a fight, the crusty old bird takes on all comers, even as his body and his memory fail him. Featuring an escape worthy of a Ken Kesey novel, Stubbings uses his signature irreverent humour to explore our fear of loss - of autonomy, memory, home, our mates, and the “things” by which we define our identity.
