Description
".witty, emotionally complex and profoundly moving story of men and their battles: in war, on the domestic front, in the corporate world and in their romantic relationships."
- Green Guide (The Age)
AFTER THE DELUGE weaves together the lives of four ordinary men at a critical time in their family history. The patriarch, Cliff is suffering from Alzheimer's and is reliving his buried memories of WWII. His three sons Alex, Martin and Toby reluctantly draw together to care for him, forcing them to face the nightmare of their past.
In attempting to define themselves in a post feminist world, they struggle to come to terms with the roles they have played as brothers, sons and men. Alex, the troubled middle child, is in turmoil with the collapse of a long marriage and the subsequent battle for his children and a new identity. His elder brother Martin, a wild boy musician has eschewed his remarkable musical talent for a now dwindling pop fame. And Toby, their younger brother, the forgotten child, hides in the suburbs too frightened to accept that his ideal of a family will never be realized.
When the war of words quietens, it is music which reconciles the brothers with a father they could never be good enough for.
