When the Rain Stops Falling by Andrew Bovell Dir Chris Drummond

After 6 weeks’ of hanging around theatres in north America and meeting up with some fascinating theatre-makers, we’re back on deck.

The usual 9am Monday post ‘What’s on in Queensland theatre this week’ will be back after the dust is blown off the Greenroom shelves, the chairs tidied, and the elves have finished delivering the latest news to the editor. Look for a post sometime later today, and for some commentary and more traveller’s tales as the weeks go by.

I’m looking forward to catching up with Queensland theatre and colleagues after missing what was undoubtedly a quite stunning Brisbane Festival as well as the launch of a certain theatre company’s 2011 season; I did keep up via Facebook and the Twitter stream, of course!
