Travelling North August - Woy Woy Little Theatre

David Williamson's Travelling North

directed by Andrew Thomson

Travelling North is a moving homage to age and the old radicals who changed the course of Australian history.

Soon after Frank and Frances desert their former lives for a northerly bohemian retreat, to the consternation of their conventional children, their grown up three daughters, Frank’s mortality asserts itself.

“Travelling North is one of Williamson’s finest works from his golden period…” The Daily Telegraph
