Queensland Theatre Company Closes THE SEVEN STAGES OF GRIEVING, August 6

Queensland Theatre Company proudly announces its Education Production of The 7 Stages of Grieving - a landmark play by new Artistic Director Wesley Enoch and Deborah Mailman. The State Theatre Company of South Australia production stars Lisa Flanagan and opens at Bille Brown Studio from 27 July.

Director Rosalba Clemente said "I love this iconic work. It captivates the heart, mind and soul. Full of raw and beautiful emotion, it is as gut wrenchingly funny as it is moving. Audiences of all ages always talk of it as a quintessential Australian theatre experience".

The 7 Stages of Grieving is a solo-show featuring an Aboriginal "Everywoman", and uses a skilful blend of traditional Aboriginal storytelling and Western theatrical forms to tell poignant and humorous stories of grief and reconciliation. According to InDaily "The 7 Stages of Grieving takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, peppered with lightness and laughter encouraged by Flanagan's extensive range of expression and moments of cheekiness."

The 7 Stages of Grieving is an Education Performance - part of Queensland Theatre Company series of shows for school students. Education Performances are open to the general public, and in 2010 have included Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot and the deBASE co-production Hurry Up and Wait!.
