The End Of The Golden Weather – Year 12 Drama Production

The End of the Golden Weather by Bruce Mason, and adapted by Raymond Hawthorne, last week.

Narrator Bea Joblin kept the story flowing and the sun shining as the words flowed from her smiling face.

Boy, Riley Brophy, and his interactions with his family, the world and Firpo were all melded together with expert ease and professionalism.

The audience could feel the story with all its highs and lows. Well done all of you!
