WORLD PREMIERE
CREATED BY
ROSLYN OADES &
COLLABORATORS
Eighteen and eighty: two ages that
bookend a life. One represents
untold potential; the other, the
accumulation of a lifetime of
experiences.
Based on interviews with people
experiencing these two very
different milestones, Hello,
Goodbye & Happy Birthday is the
powerful new work from Malthouse
Theatre’s 2013 female director-inresidence, Roslyn Oades. Playful
and affecting in equal measure,
this show sees Oades continue
her groundbreaking ‘headphoneverbatim’ documentary
theatre technique, bringing an
extraordinary immediacy and
vividness to the performances.
