Elegy

By Jodi Gallagher

04 April 2000 – 13 May 2000 Beckett Theatre

Playbox Theatre Company,

New Writing Theatre World Premiere

Two sisters share a lust for life. When one dies the other finds herself in the void that can only be created by the loss of a loved one. Alice is trying to raise the dead – so she can finally have the last word.

Elegy was first performed as part of Inside 2000 as part of the Playbox Season.

It received an Honourable Mention for the Victorian Premier's Awards for Literature.
