The 7 Stages of Grieving is a landmark work written by two of this country’s leading Aboriginal theatre artists, Deborah Mailman and Wesley Enoch. Through a unique union of traditional Aboriginal storytelling and Western theatrical forms, we encounter a series of stunning and moving episodes in the life of an Aboriginal ‘Everywoman’.

With its indomitable sense of humour and a wonderful tenderness, The 7 Stages of Grieving opens the heart and puts some of the big issues such as grief and reconciliation under the microscope.

The 7 Stages of Grieving will take audiences on a poignant emotional journey through love, anger and loss.

The Adelaide season will be followed by performances in suburban and regional centres.
