Award winning Australian playwright David Williamson's play has been described as part Romeo and Juliet, part Meet the Parents.
This satirical comedy is set in Noosa. Toby and Ros are retired left wing radicals who flee to the upmarket Sunshine Coast seaside town to escape scandal in Sydney. There they meet Natasha and Ron - a shallow socialite and a brash property developer. When their children find romance together, the patter of tiny feet brings on the clashing of egos.
Whilst trying to escape a scandal in Sydney, Toby, a lefty, radical doco-maker, and his wife Ros arrive in Noosa to discover that the quaint coastal oasis of youthful memory is now filled with the upwardly mobile sort of wealthy Sydney-siders they hoped to leave behind. A renewed acquaintance with Ros's old school friend Natasha, a new money socialite and her right-wing property developer husband Ron, leads to a hilarious conflict of personalities and convictions that becomes a considerable problem when their children are attracted to one-another.
Let the Sunshine is a play about middle Australian class structures. Hippies, Boomers and Gen-X'ers, amongst other generations will relate to this well crafted and delightful play for its look into the lives and creeds of those at opposite ends of the ideological spectrum and how such people can be brought together in compromise is undeniably an intriguing one.
Contains strong language and adult themes.
.....Williamson could
never be accused of having lost his touch when it comes to writing brilliant one-liners...
