AddressPlayhose Theatre, 3 Pier Street Perth
The Merry Go Round in the Sea is a classic of modern Australian literature. An elegy to change, this rite of passage follows six years in the life of Rob Corum, a small boy growing up in the sleepy town of Geraldton during the turbulent years of the Second World War. Randolph Stow captures the restless spirit of postwar Australia and a nostalgic glimpse of a simpler kind of childhood in a country that no longer exists. Experience the magic of one of Black Swan Theatre's most renowned epics, first presented at the 1997 Perth International Arts Festival.
