ABOUT THE PLAY
Karen is a community nurse caring for her first dying patient. Clarrie has had enough of being a burden on his family and wants to die now. Vi is tired and bad tempered and wondering why she stays working in palliative care, particularly as she has her own problems at home. Sue is walking the fine line of acting as a mentor for junior staff and supporting a colleague who isn’t coping.
Designed to facilitate community conversations about death, grief and living, Four Funerals in One Day is based on real people’s stories and is an entertaining and inspiring performance piece.
BRING FOUR FUNERALS TO YOUR TOWN OR VENUE!
Four Funerals in One Day will help your organisation bring the storyline of palliative care to your community in an innovative and creative way. This play educates and entertains the audience and provides you with the opportunity you have been looking for to discuss death and dying in the public arena.
All you need is a venue: a local theatre, school or community hall or anywhere that has a raised platform and access to basic lighting and sound systems. There are few props required and the actors bring their own costumes. The basic cost for one performance of the play is $3500 (ex GST), plus transport and accommodation, if relevant. After the performance Molly Carlile will chair a community discussion of issues raised in the play, enabling you to provide information about your local palliative care services.
