Noni Hazlehurst, beloved star of stage and screen, takes centre stage in this new work written by Daniel Keene and directed by Matt Scholten.
Rose Grey is saying her final goodbye to The Lark, a small inner-city pub in Melbourne. It’s been closed for six months and will be demolished as the suburb gentrifies. But for Rose, now in her seventies, this derelict building is her whole life.
She’s lived here since she was a child, finally taking over from her father as he grew old. Her memories, both bitter and sweet, bind her to The Lark. Trapped in the past, she fears that The Lark might hold her forever in suspension. Now she wants to escape from this cycle of endless return and wrench herself free.
With rave reviews on its 2025 world premiere in Melbourne, you won’t want to miss Noni Hazelhurst’s breathtaking performance. A powerful and moving meditation on life, death and change.
Originally commissioned and produced by Arts Centre Melbourne and Hey Dowling.
1hr 15min. No Interval.
