Synopsis

A wonderful, humorous/serious exploration into relationships - into what love is all about and those many hours we devote to love. Loves & Hours is the story of Dan Tilney; newly divorced, empty nester, and a man now totally at a loss as to what to do with the rest of his life. His friends know. Dan needs a girl. But will it be Charlotte, beautiful, bursting with life and twenty years his junior? Or will it be Julia; his life long friend and confidant. And what about his teenage son who is having an affair with a neighbor? And his ex-wife who has announced she's gay? What about his best friend, Harold, - who is going through a mid-life crisis and his daughter, Rebecca, who is seemingly furious with everything and everyone. In this gentle comedy, life and love are complicated for young and not so young alike.
This will be a South Australian premiere.

Written By  : Stephen Metcalfe
Directed by : Erik Strauts

Adelaide Theatre Guide Review

A new play is always a challenge, and this Australian premiere gave Galleon a few. Taking place over the course of a year in a variety of locations the setting would have been a test for the director and the designer. A test they passed with flying colours!
