Adapted for the stage by Gregory AitkenDirected by Kate Horsley
The Chronicles of Eldershaw is the story of Helen, a 1950’s Tasmanian feminist. Helen possesses a certain grandeur. People of both sexes are attracted to her. A wife and a mother, she is in touch with something greater than herself, Helen is also a bit of a drama queen.
The performance slips between ethereal realms where reality and memory bend with poetic realism. An enigmatic world where time and space are not rigid.
The production style is a combination of digital visuals, narrative poetry, physical theatre, with both a live and recorded soundscape.
THE CHRONICLES OF ELDERSHAW is adapted from the award winning poet, Stephen Edgar’s narrative verse novel ELDERSHAW, which was short listed for the 2013 PM’s Award for Poetry. Stephen received the PM’s Award for Poetry in 2021.
This is the world premiere production of his dramatic work and it's development has gratefully been funded by the Regional Arts Fund.
