White, blue, yellow cracks depicting parched land.

by David Williamson, Directed by Damian Jones

Golden sands, turquoise waters and a lush green golf course — Penny Poulter leads an almost idyllic life in one of Australia’s best kept secrets, Wallis Heads. But when this hidden coastal gem is discovered by the ruthless and immensely wealthy Alex Whittle, ambitious plans to put the town firmly on the tourist map spark a bitter rivalry. Can this human bulldozer with money to burn ever be stopped?

‘THE GREAT DIVIDE is a brilliantly written, fabulously portrayed and an exceptional piece of Australian theatre….. fantastically entertaining, emotional and truly hilarious! – Theatre Thoughts
