“WHAT USE IS A CROW TO A PACK OF GRIEVING HUMANS?”
Belvoir
Press Release
Sydney
Another email. Another headline. Another doomscroll. The world is loud, relentless — full of things to think about. But maybe — just maybe — we want to sit in the dark and feel again.
After bringing you Death of A Salesman with Anthonly LaPaglia last year, Max Porter’s breathtaking novel Grief Is the Thing with Feathers soars onto the Australian stage at last, in a spellbinding new Australian theatrical event. Presented with Belvoir St Theatre, secure the best seats now.
Several years in the making, we’re finally bringing this extraordinary story to life. It’s raw. It’s darkly funny. It’s unexpected. And it’s bursting with theatrical magic.
Directed and co-designed by the legendary Simon Phillips (Priscilla Queen of the Desert, North by Northwest, Muriel’s Wedding The Musical), co-design and lighting design by the visionary Nick Schlieper (Picture of Dorian Gray, Amadeus, Ring Cycle) and a powerhouse performance by Toby Schmitz (Hamlet, The Wild Duck, Amadeus, Ruben Guthrie) as Dad and Crow, this is theatre at its most alive. Fierce, and unforgettable.
- Venue Upstairs Theatre
- Dates26 Jul – 24 Aug 25
