A work based on a poem titled “Empty Vessel”, written six
months after the death of the writer’s mother in Aged Care. It was a decidedly
bleak and unflinching gaze at the terrible wasting disease that is Lewy body
dementia.
Mary is the Everywoman of our elders in Care and, similarly
to many older women in society, she is often unheard, misunderstood and
overlooked. The fact that she is for the most part, non-ambulant and
non-verbal, does not prevent her from interacting with the people around her In
Mary, we can appreciate the playful, fully-rounded, feisty person she was and
still is.
In Until Then - Rhys and Tony are losing touch with what is
real and important in their lives – but it works both ways.
There is reference to family violence and abuse (inferred
and spoken) in both plays and we will provide information and phone numbers for
referral services in the program and at the performance.
