Ghosting the Party - A play by Melissa Bubnic

Directed by Liz Chance, this is a truly Australian take on a universal theme, dealing head-on with a topic we spend most of our lives managing to avoid thinking about, let alone dealing with, death.

Then along comes Grace. Now in her eighties, she's ready to leave. And says so in no uncertain terms. She is both serious and seriously funny with a bone-dry sense of humour and a solid grip on her own reality. Her daughter, Dorothy, is appalled. Her granddaughter Suzie is interested in discussing how. And how not to end up like Nan.

This play deals with the complex reality of how ordinary people deal with the collision between the strongest primal urge we have, the survival instinct, and a deep longing for rest. Do we have the right to decide, or do others get to decide for us?

This play pulls no punches but facing the Grim Reaper has never been so funny!
