Riverside Theatres to Stage THE FLOATING WORLD, 19-23 Nov.
By: Tyler Peterson
From the same company who brought us the hugely successful Angela's Kitchen comes the next 'must see' production, The Floating World at Riverside Theatres from Tuesday, 19 November till Saturday, 23 November.
Les and Irene are celebrating their wedding anniversary. Gifted with the holiday of a lifetime, they set sail on the Women's Weekly Cherry Blossom Cruise bound for the cultural mysteries of Japan. But amongst the sun hats, theme nights and piña coladas Les, a former WWII prisoner of war, soon ?nds himself confronted by old diggers, enemies and tormented memories. As the cruise ship ?oats closer towards its destination, Les' grip on reality ?oats ever further away. The Floating World is a resonating tale of the long-lasting effects of war and the ugly world of xenophobic Australia. Following the success of his sold-out productions of Speaking in Tongues and The Boys, Sam Strong returns to the Grif?n fold to direct this neglected Australian classic, last staged at the Stables in 1975 and heralded as an 'unruly masterpiece.'Tickets: Adult $47, Conc. $42, 30&U $37, F/T Student $30*
