Diving for Pearls - Devonport

The story is set in an industrialised coastal city on the cusp of this change and the response of a couple at the prime of their life – the feisty, irrepressible Barbara and her would-be boyfriend the retiring but stubborn Den. Their lives are further complicated by the arrival of Barbara’s simple daughter Verge, her snobbish sister Marj and Den’s upwardly mobile, brother-in-law Ron.

Given the desperate nature of the characters’ circumstances the play is often dramatic, involving and moving, but this is tempered by a wry, sometimes hilarious and very Australian sense of humour.
