Red Sky Morning

A powerful and poetic story about family, silence, and finding hope in the everyday.

Life in the country can be beautiful and brutally honest. In RED SKY MORNING, we meet a woman, a man, and a girl who live under the same roof but have slowly drifted apart. Over the course of one day, their stories unfold in a series of poetic monologues that reveal love, regret, and the quiet hope that things might get better.

Tom Holloway’s award-winning script captures the heart of regional Australia: the early mornings, the long silences, the unspoken care that holds families together. With sharp wit and tender honesty, it reflects the challenges and strength of small-town life, where connection is both fragile and essential.

Directed by Lyall Brooks, RED SKY MORNING is a hauntingly beautiful Australian story that will stay with you; because it feels like home.

Red Sky Morning was developed through Red Stitch’s INK program.The play premiered at Red Stitch Actors' Theatre in 2008.
