Rainbow’s End Starring: Christine Anu, Lillian Crombie, Chenoa Deemal Three generations of Koori women, Nan Dear, her feisty daughter Gladys and clever, teenager Dolly, live on the edge of a country town in a shack on the flood prone riverbank. For Nan, even life on ‘the flats’ represents progress of a kind, but Gladys has bigger ambitions for a real house and a real job for Dolly. When Gladys takes on buying the Encyclopedia Britannica from city salesman Errol Fisher to improve Dolly’s chances, their lives take an unexpected and challenging turn.

Set against the Queen’s visit in 1954 with music that evokes the period, this tender, funny, play celebrates the transformative power of learning and the fierce optimism of the women as they struggle for community acceptance in conservative, Menzies era Australia.

Rainbow’s End is a genuine ‘feel good’ night in the theatre. Written with gentle irony and humorous affection by Jane Harrison, the writer of the award winning play Stolen and flawlessly directed by multi award winner and former Rockhampton resident, Craig Ilott.
