Description An epic play spanning four generations and two continents, When the Rain Stops Falling moves from the claustrophobia of a 1950s London flat to the windswept coast of Southern Australia and into the heart of the desert. As it interweaves the series of connected stories, seven people confront the mysteries of their past revealing how patterns of betrayal, love and abandonment are passed on, until finally, as the desert is inundated with rain, one young man finds the courage to defy the legacy.
