THE SWIMMING CLUB
30/01/2010 - 14/03/2010
MTC Theatre, Sumner - In 1983, when they were footloose and fancy free, they spent one glorious summer together working and loving on a Greek island. Now that they are middle-class, middle-aged, mid-career and mortgaged to the hilt, do they really want to carry all their burdens haifway round the world for a reunion?
Nostalgia is a self-deceiving game and playwright Hannie Rayson's characters in The Swimming Club are smart enough to know that it's a mirage. But they dive in anyway. With this World Premiere, Hannie is at her wisest and wittiest, writing about her own generation with warmth, humour and her characteristic sensibility for their dilemmas and regrets.
