The Victoria Theatre Trust presents a Play Reading for SHELTER by Elspeth Sandys.Sunday 28 September at 4pm in Cinema 3
A mother and son, out on a weekend tramp in the bush, are forced to take shelter during a storm. But the hut sheltering them is not a normal tramping hut. As the play unfolds, and hidden family truths are revealed, the tension generated by their strange surroundings fuses with the tension in their relationship to bring the action to a shocking climax.
