NEXT FALL BY GEOFFREY NAUFFTS @ SEYMOUR CENTRE

Adam and Brandon played by Darrin Redgate and Mark Dessaix

Luke believes in God. Adam believes in everything else. NEXT FALL portrays the ups and downs of this unlikely couple’s five-year relationship with sharp humour and unflinching honesty. When an accident changes everything, the most deeply held beliefs of family and friends are put to the test and Adam is forced to turn to Luke’s family and friends for support… and answers.  Nauffts play paints a beautiful and funny portrait of modern romance, asking the hard questions about commitment, love and faith.

Essentially it’s about family. What constitutes a family, what rights do and should a long term defacto partner have in a crisis if the absent family has a different view? Given the whole current marriage equality malarkey these themes are as relevant now as ever.

Produced on Broadway by Elton John and his partner David Furnish it played to packed houses. Since then the play  has enjoyed critical and popular success all over the USA, UK and Canada. This current production at the Seymour Centre marks the plays’ Australian premiere.  

NEXT FALL  was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play and the Drama Desk award for Most Outstanding Play. It won the Outer Circle Critics Award for best new play of 2010.

Directed by Andy Leonard, the cast includes, Cormac Costello, Mark Dessaix, Alex Ewan, Mary Anne Halpin, Victoria Greiner and Darrin Redgate.
