Three Plays: Rising Water, Signs of Life, ShrineMarked by Winton's signature ear for dialogue, these are three searing plays about survival, mourning, and the remarkable gift of redemption. Winton's first play, Rising Water, sees middle aged fringe dwellers Col, Baxter and Jackie living aboard neighbouring boats in a crowded marina. Each of them nurses secret wounds and anxieties, and although their vessels are ocean going craft, none seems likely to ever leave the safe confines of the harbour.
