Our first show for 2014 was Daylight Saving by well
known Aussie author Nick Enright, at Theatre@BCS during May. The show was directed by our own
Michael Weston, back behind the wheel for the first time in four years.
The play is a cleverly written romantic comedy set in Pittwater (northern
beaches) of Sydney — think Palm Beach — in the 1990s. As the name of the
play suggests it takes place over the weekend in March when the clocks go
back and we get that magic extra hour. The question arises as to what might
happen to Tom & Flick's marriage when her old teenage sweetheart from the US
turns up out of the blue. Throw in the neurotic next door neighbor, the
interfering mother and Tom's young star client and who knows what might
happen?
