The Hope Fault

The Hope Fault

“Art takes time. Good art takes a lot of time,” says West Australian writer/director Andrew Hale.

In a year-long process, Hale has adapted Tracy Farr’s novel, The Hope Fault, for the stage and will direct its world premiere season, presented with the support of the Minderoo Foundation and Fremantle Press, at WAAPA’s newly refurbished Enright Studio from 11-17 October.

Tracy Farr, who grew up in Perth but now lives in New Zealand, will return to her home town for the premiere performance.

Based on Farr’s second novel, The Hope Fault is a rich family story that spans three generations. Iris and her extended family – her ex-husband with his new wife and baby, her son, and her best friend’s daughter – gather on a midwinter long weekend to pack up the family holiday house after it has been sold.
