The Peach Season

The Peach Season is a play by the Australian playwright Debra Oswald. It premiered at Sydney's Griffin Theatre Company in March 2006. The play was short-listed for the New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards.

The Peach Season evokes the heat, scent and hard slog of a peach farm at harvest time. When a desperate brother and sister turn up looking for picking work, it triggers strong feelings, bad decisions and danger.

Summary

Celia owns the farm. She left Sydney, with baby Zoe in her arms, sixteen years ago when her husband was killed as a bystander in an armed robbery. She has constructed a small haven, keeping her daughter safe from the dangers of the world. But Zoe is chafing against Celia's protectiveness.

This is a moving and suspenseful story about intoxicating first love and the burning love of a mother for a child. It's a story about our overwhelming desire to protect the people we love and the painful necessity to let children go out into the world.
