The Waltz is a celebration of life as two people in their 70s meet on a park bench at Bondi. They rediscover their connection from the 1960s, as members of the radical group The Push. They help each other take back control of their increasingly regulated lives. The Waltz has made audiences laugh and cry. It is full of wit, humor, and music. The Waltz has toured villages in Southern NSW in 2022, courtesy of funding from Create NSW
Written by David Cole, the play is as tender as it is heart wrenching. Cole, who is well known for his unique voice and ability to mix comedy and tragedy, says the script was born from the idea that you're never too old to be young at heart.
The premiere season of the play was directed by the late, great David Letch, who tragically passed away recently. Letch also fell in love with the characters. He said "The play is about life and never letting your inner child die. You're never too old to grow and have fun". David lived by that adage himself and we offer this very special performance in his memory.
