The Flood

The Arts Centre Gold Coast in association with Critical Stages and Finucane & Smith presents  
The Flood  
By Patrick White Playwrights’ Award Winner Jackie Smith  

From internationally acclaimed, multi award winning creators Finucane & Smith comes the haunting and electrifying work hailed as ‘masterful… an Australian Gothic that defines the genre’. 

The sheep farm is dilapidated. The farmhouse, dark and squalid, sits by the river, sheltering a mad old lady and her isolated hard-drinking daughter. Memories are seeping through the floorboards. As the sun sets, the flood waters rise. The screen door bangs open in the rain and wind; Catherine has returned after 20 years. The past is here. Through the mesmerising friction between estranged sisters, fuelled by alcohol and uncertain memories of a long-dead father, three women are trapped with a past no one wants to remember. 

Bristling with dark humour and edge-of-the-seat performances by three of Australia’s finest actresses, The Flood is startlingly authentic writing, plunging audiences into the lives of characters so real you feel you know them; a web of family intrigue against the haunting Australian outback.
