The Peach Season

$23.99

After the murder of her husband, Celia has shut herself and her 16-year-old daughter Zoë away, toiling on a peach farm in the middle of nowhere. The arrival of two young people to help during picking season heralds the beginning of the end for Celia’s safe existence.

Her daughter falls in love with enigmatic, erratic Kieran, but when the relationship is threatened, they run away together. The safe, perhaps smothering, world that Celia has created unravels; her paranoia and insecurities amplified to full volume. Playing out alongside her fear, we see the increasingly degrading and dangerous lifestyle that the two elopers have fallen into.

Peach Season is a powerful, salutary tale showing what it’s like to be a young person desperate for independence, but also, crucially, what it’s like to be a parent during the painful process of letting children fly the nest.

REVIEW: THE PEACH SEASON

CAROL WIMMER, STAGE WHISPERS, SEPTEMBER 2013

"All the strengths and weaknesses of relationships are played out as these six characters eventually find some personal stability – and in doing so reassure the audience of the importance of familial understanding and love."
