HIT Productions presents "Let the Sunshine"
Award winning Australian playwright David Williamson's play, staring Peter Phelps, has been described as part 'Romeo and Juliet', part 'Meet the Parents'.
This satirical comedy is set in Noosa. Toby and Ros are retired left wing radicals who flee to the upmarket Sunshine Coast seaside town to escape scandal in Sydney. There they meet Natasha and Ron - a shallow socialite and a brash property developer. When their children find romance together, the patter of tiny feet brings on the clashing of egos.
