Cloudstreet

Tim Winton's award-winning celebration of post-war working-class Australia follows the fortunes of two typically boisterous clans, the Pickles and the Lambs. Set in and around Perth during the 40s and 50s, Cloudstreet tells the story of two rural families who suffer separate catastrophes and flee to the city to pick up the pieces of their lives and start again. Brought together in the same house at No.1 Cloud Street, the Lambs and the Pickles' share numerous tragedies and triumphs that draw them closer together, until the roof over their heads becomes a home for their hearts. Easily considered one of Australia's most iconic novels, Tim Winton's Cloudstreet was adapted for the screen in time for it's twentieth anniversary. Featuring an outstanding ensemble cast including Stephen Curry, Essie Davis, Emma Booth, Geoff Morrell, Kerry Fox, Todd Lasance and Hugo Johnstone-Burt, Tim Winton's Cloudstreet is a celebration of working-class Australia and a tale not to be missed.
