About this Event
Scripted Social - Play Exploration Group (August's Read)
We invite you along to 53Two Studio in Manchester for our July play exploration group session ran by Jessica Moir who is a creative facilitator and director! Join us on 29th August, 2026 at 10:00 AM to dive into our selected script which for this month is When the Rain Stops Falling by Andrew Bovell! Let's gather together, share our thoughts, and enjoy the magic of theatre in a safe, communal setting. No acting experience required, just bring your enthusiasm and love for the stage!
Our morning is spent reading the plays and in the afternoon, we play around with some of the scenes in a relaxed, loose rehearsal setting!
See you there!
When the Rain Stops Falling
"YOU’RE NOT SURE IF IT’S TODAY OR TOMORROW OR YESTERDAY. AND WHO CAN BLAME YOU FOR THAT. THEY’RE ALL MUCH THE SAME."
A beautiful and expansive drama about family, betrayal and forgiveness, spanning four generations and two hemispheres. All throughout eighty years of torrential rain. When the Rain Stops Falling moves from the claustrophobia of a London flat in 1959 to the windswept coast of southern Australia, and into the heart of the Australian desert in 2039. It interweaves a series of connected stories as seven people confront the mysteries of their past in order to understand their future, revealing how patterns of secrets, love and abandonment are passed on.
