Galleon Theatre Group proudly presents an Australian premiere of Loves & Hours, written by Stephan Metcalfe and directed by Eric Strauts. A preview performance on May 21 will be followed by an opening on May 22. The show will run through May 31 with performances at 8:00pm, as well as a 2:00pm matinee performance on May 31. All performances will be at The Domain Theatre in the Marion Cultural Centre in Oaklands Park.

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 neighbour? 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.

Andrew Horwood plays Dan Tilney, the newly single man on the loose. Shelly Hampton is Julia, his life-long friend, while Rosie Williams plays Charlotte, the younger woman in his life. Bronwyn Ruciak, Sharon Pitardi, Megan Langford, Laura Antoniazzi, John Koch, Adam Dalby, and Simon Lancione complete the ensemble.
