Daylight Saving by Nick Enright – Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre
This fast paced comedy by Nick Enright opens this Wednesday for a short run at the multifaceted Casula Powerhouse. Set in Sydney in the 1980s, the play follows protagonist Felicity over two weekends as she reconnects with an old flame while her jet setting husband is away. Produced by the Liverpool Performing Arts Ensemble and directed by Tony Woollams, this restaging of Enright’s classic play will showcase local talent.
