"...Katherine Thomson braves the deep end and comes up with a play for the times…Pearls is a play buoyed up from harsh beginning to harsh end with the wry, bitter yet ultimately heart-warming humour of survival…” - Brian Hoad, Belvoir Theatre
This award winning play dramatically records the moment Australia joined the vast world of globalised economics in the 1980’s and the consequences of that action for the lives of working men and women. Australian’s are still living through the repercussions of that moment.
This play portrays a working class couple, Barbara and Den, and their heroic struggle for a meaningful life amidst the turmoil of change. In love and facing the challenges and responsibilities of middle-age, they gamely confront pressing issues in their personal and working lives as the environment of their small coastal town transforms itself from an old industrial site of factories and warehouses to a brave new world of resorts and plush hotels."
