Childe Byron

Directed by Ellen Wilson Dilks
Sept. 28, 29, 30 Oct. 5, 6, 7, 12, 13

As her own end draws near, Ada Byron Lovelace is seized with a desire to know more about her profligate father.  Stimulated by the drugs she takes for her illness, Ada summons Lord Byron to life and, in sharp, sarcastic exchanges, probes into the truth behind the myth. The life and art of Byron unfold and in the end the private man, the public figure and the protean poet are reconciled, while Ada, a genius in her own right, finds peace with herself and the father she never knew.

When the Rain Stops Falling

It's raining. Gabriel York is awaiting the arrival of his grown son whom he hasn't seen since he was a boy of seven. That's the beginning of this compelling family saga that journeys back and forth in time from one generation to another, from 1959 to 2039, from London to Australia. A story of fathers and sons and mothers and wives and lovers that is epic in scope and, at the same time, extraordinarily intimate.
