Summer of the Aliens

August 11, 1993 - September 25, 1993 | The Sydney Theatre Company
Directed by: Angela Chaplin | Literature: Louis Nowra | Costume Design: Stephen Curtis | Production Design: Stephen Curtis
It is 1962 and the world is worried about the Cuban missile crisis, except for Lewis, a youth on the cusp of manhood, growing up in a Melbourne housing commission suburb. He is preoccupied by flying saucer, much to the disgust of his friend Brian who can think only of losing his virginity. Lewis finds a natural soulmate in local tom-boy, Dulcie, who has her own confusions about approaching womanhood. And then out of nowhere Lewis's errant father returns to stay, as if he had never gone.
