Brief Blurb about the production

The play is introduced and narrated by the Stage Manager, who welcomes the audience to the fictional town of Grover's Corners, New South Wales in 1919. In the opening scene, the stage is largely empty, except for some tables and chairs that represent the homes of the Gibbs and Webb families. The set remains sparse throughout the rest of the play.

After the Stage Manager's introduction, the activities of a typical day in the town begin. We are introduced to the main characters of George Gibbs and Emily Webb, their lives and the characters they are surrounded by.

Act II takes place three years later, on George and Emily's wedding day. We find out how they came together and we watch them go through their wedding day jitters.

Act III takes place nine years later, in a cemetery on a hilltop overlooking the town.  One of the characters has passed away and now has a nostalgic appreciation for everyday life that the other living characters do not share.
