From the creators of the critically acclaimed Mother (★★★★★) comes The Lark.
Noni Hazlehurst, beloved star of stage and screen, takes centre stage in this new work written by Daniel Keene and directed by Matt Scholten.
Rose Grey is saying her final goodbye to The Lark, a small inner-city pub in Melbourne. It’s been closed for six months and will be demolished as the suburb gentrifies. But for Rose, now in her seventies, this derelict building is her whole life.
She’s lived here since she was a child, taking over from her father as he grew old. Her memories, both bitter and sweet, bind her to The Lark. She fears it might hold her forever in suspension. Now she wants to escape from this cycle of endless return and wrench herself free.
Following its acclaimed 2025 world premiere in Melbourne, The Lark has been hailed as a powerful, moving meditation on life, loss, and change. Don’t miss Noni Hazlehurst’s breathtaking performance in this unforgettable story.
