Sydney Theatre Company presents
A Barbican London and Fertility Fest production
AVALANCHE: A LOVE STORY
By Julia Leigh
World premiere
A compelling story of hope and longing
When a woman rekindles an early love in her late 30’s her whole life changes. Deeply in love, she and her new husband want to have a child together and they make an appointment at an IVF clinic. They are full of hope and shared commitment. So begins this story, inspired by the writers' own personal memoir.
Avalanche: A Love Story is Leigh’s riveting and exceptionally moving account of a profound and widespread experience. She lays bare the highs and the lows, the pull of maternal yearning, the toll on a relationship, and the daily oscillation between hope and doubt. It’s a story we can all relate to – about the dreams we have for ourselves, the hopes we have for our futures and the goals we have for our families.
Direct from London, this international co-production with the Barbican Centre sees Leigh adapt her memoir for the stage with acclaimed British actor Maxine Peake in the lead role of this highly-anticipated world premiere.
Avalanche: A Love Story was co-commissioned by Barbican London, Fertility Fest and Sydney Theatre Company.
From 29th August at Roslyn Packer Theatre.
