The Story

Cloudstreet is the epic story of two Western Australian families, the Lambs and the Pickles, sharing a ramshackle house in Perth's western suburbs. This quintessential Western Australian novel by Tim Winton, adapted beautifully for the stage by Justin Monjo and the late Nick Enright, takes us into the lives of the Lamb and Pickles families in the house at Number One Cloud Street in the 1940's and 50's. The Lambs are God-fearing and hard-working - symbolising the puritan element of Australia. The Pickles are dissolute and unrestrained, representing that more free-spirited side of Australia.

Set in postwar Australia, Cloudstreet spans 20 years in the lives of the Pickles and the Lambs, two families thrown together by fortune in a large, haunted house in Cloud Street, Perth. How two utterly mismatched families crammed under one crumbling roof learn to live together is an allegory for the Australian experience, touching on subjects as diverse as the isolation of indigenous Australians and the sexual revolution of the 1960s.

The original 1998 production ran for more than five hours and was a huge popular and critical success both here in Australia and around the world.
