Description Australian playwright Andrew Bovell's 2008 epic When the Rain Stops Falling begins in Alice Springs with an extinct fish falling from the sky at the feet of Gabriel York (Ric Reid), who is about to be reunited with a son he abandoned decades before. This takes place in the year 2039, making this the second play this season, after Bernard Shaw's On The Rocks, to be set in the future though in that case Shaw's speculative future has at this point become an alternative past.
