Hotel Sorrento
About
When you tell your secrets to the sea, the tide will bring them to shore…This is the tale of three sisters: their relationships and their secrets. Their reunion in the Australian seaside town of Sorrento after being apart for ten years, is made volatile by Meg, the middle sister’s, Booker nominated novel, based on their shared experiences, which is bringing international attention to their private lives. The public exposure is unwelcome.
Rayson explained in her 1992 introduction, “…families seem to have an astonishing capacity to postpone the settling of conflicts and old scores”. She quotes Jane Dowdeswell, “Few other relationships can inspire such loyalty or such anger as sisters.”
And the conflicts are not just personal: the sisters come home from America and England and their search for identity is a microcosm of Australia’s search for cultural identity.
Come to Ad Astra’s production of Hotel Sorrento and watch what happens when the sisters try to find their way home to each other.
