Like A Fishbone

By Anthony Weigh

16 July - 7 August 2010

'Dusseldorp delivers one of the outstanding stage turns of the year' Jason Blake, SMH

A single act of fury has left its mark on a small rural community. Months later, in a council office many miles away, an architect readies to present her plans for the memorial she has created in their honour – an indelible monument to those lost.

The unannounced arrival of a visitor interrupts the proceedings. It is a lone mother who has travelled a great distance to be here. Having witnessed something incredible, she wants to share a story of hope and faith so that her community can begin to live again.

On this night two extraordinary women collide, waging a personal battle between religious faith and humanism, grief and commemoration – a battle that will change both of their lives irrevocably.

A brilliant, enthralling and intensely moving play that explores our desire for connection and meaning in the world.

For Like a Fishbone, Griffin has partnered with Sydney Theatre Company to present this compelling new work at the Wharf 1 Theatre.

Architecture Forum – 29th July

Following the performance on Thursday 29 July, Griffin will host a forum discussion on architecture and memorial lead by a panel of three from across the field.

Brian Zulaikha of Tonkin, Zulaikha Greer and NSW President, Australian Institute of Architects.
Dr. Russell Rodrigo Program Director, Interior Architecture at UNSW and expert in memorial design
Tim Maddock director of Like a Fishbone
