FORMER SeaChange star David Wenham is stoked about
his latest production.
"It's undoubtedly one of the best scripts I've ever read,'' says Wenham about
After the Deluge.
"I've certainly never read anything that more honestly explores the Aussie
male, his flaws and foibles.''
The superb, star-studded mini-series After the Deluge examines the lives of
four ordinary men - an ailing, World War II-tormented father (Ray Barrett) and
his three sons (Hugo Weaving, Samuel Johnson and Wenham) at a critical time in
their family history.
It is not only Wenham who thinks this two-part television drama could be the
best work of scribe Andrew Knight - who, with writing partner Deb Cox, has
given us small-screen offerings such as SeaChange.
Rachel Griffiths, who is
about to film another series of US hit Six Feet Under, plays an emotionally
scarred coffee shop owner who strikes up a relationship with faded rock star
Weaving.
"It was a wonderful script by Andrew. An absolute stunning piece of
work,''
"I haven't seen Aussie males explored in this way - ever.''
After the Deluge, screening on Ten at
