Australian play at theatre

David Williamson's production Travelling North will be performed at Peninsula Theatre from October 8 to 11.

Terence Donovan and Sandy Gore will be joined by "a brilliant cast" consisting of Lewis Fiander, Ross Thompson, Kate Cole, Shelley Lauman and Elizabeth Slattery.

The play is a tribute to the generation that fought for change in Australia from the 1930s to the 70s.

It tells the story of Frank, a crotchety old political activist and retiree in his 70s and Frances, a 50-something divorcee, find new life in a twilight love affair, to the consternation of their conventional children.

Their dream takes them both North to the sun, but no sooner do they find their idyll than signs of mortality betray Frank's lion spirit.
