Where is cloudstreet filmed

Need one have firsthand familiarity of Fremantle, Rocky Bay and Nedlands, to cite just three place names that root the play? Before that, though, emerge confessions of weakness and doubt flecked with the gentle humor that infuses the play throughout. Initially, the Lambs and the Pickles make uneasy neighbors in their large Perth home, the Pickles parents as drunken and reprobate as the Lambs are hard-working and God-fearing.

Quick, separately, is plagued by lifelong guilt over the accident that befell his beloved brother Fish, and plans his own escape, only to be find himself swept up in the spirit of inclusion that comes to dominate the play. The house has a haunted and grim history that is dramatized via shadow plays, while the recurrence of a narrative Aboriginal figure known as Black Man suggests that inclusion, sadly, does have its limits.

Wyllie, commendably, never begs for sympathy, preferring to earn it by virtue of a radiance that comes tempered with many an eccentric, even goofy flourish. And while Kris McQuade and Judi Farr make something vivid of two wildly divergent mothers — Dolly Pickles as smoky and throaty as Oriel Lamb is abject — Julie Forsyth has a field day in a quartet of roles, starting with her turn as Red Lamb: a socialite manque-turned-nurse with a Betty Boop voice.
