Undeterred by the cold mornings, ten of our members participated in a reading of David Williamson’s thought provoking play, After the Ball. Williamson, in his writings, frequently highlights the complexities of relationships and the emotions that are evoked whether in business, sport or family and he never fails to touch a chord of recognition with his audience.
Recalling memories of the past, siblings Stephen and Judy, who live on opposite sides of the world, are reunited at the bedside of their dying mother in Australian suburbia in the 1990’s. During this time they relive their family times from the 1960’s with all its highs and lows, disappointments and achievements and bewildering changes both socially and in their own relationships.
At times hilarious, at times emotional, a deeply moving play which was voted one of our best yet, with the reading by some of the participants achieving a great portrayal of the characters. New members always welcome.
