Queensland Premiere
Three Old Friends. One Beach House.
A Lifetime of Things Left Unsaid.
Based on the novel by Charlotte Wood
Gather your friends as Charlotte Wood’s bestselling novel The Weekend comes to the Roundhouse, in a big-hearted celebration of friendship, growing older and the layers of love built over a lifetime.
Jude, Wendy and Adele have known each other most of their lives. Reuniting over Christmas to clear out their late friend Sylvie’s beach house, they arrive carrying decades of shared history – and more than a little baggage.
Jude is a prominent restaurateur, Wendy a celebrated academic and Adele a high-profile actor. Now, these three formidable women are each confronting a new chapter. And without Sylvie there to hold them together, the friendships they thought they understood begin to shift.
Add a crumbling beach house, oppressive summer heat, some truly terrible cocktails and Wendy’s beloved ageing dog Finn, and one weekend is all it takes for old resentments to surface, secrets to spill and loyalties to be tested.
An international bestseller and Stella Prize shortlistee, Charlotte Wood’s novel comes to the stage in Sue Smith’s fierce, funny adaptation.
