After a sold-out theatrical season at The Social Foundry, Kyneton and The Engine Room, Bendigo, we are delighted to bring The Vessel by Dawn Bamforth and Until Then, by Paul Canlan to Castlemaine this Seniors Month.

The Vessel is the story of an older woman, in the latter stages of dementia, living in aged care. The play is a deeply personal account of the small acts of kindness in her final days and hours, as she shares memories from her earlier life with us, the audience.

Until Then is about the relationship between a father and his son “Clinging onto hope but until then, I won’t be holding my breath” We need to connect in the physical world rather than look for confirmation from others who don’t matter. Connecting with your dad should be easy and natural, but sometimes we lose touch of what is real and most important in our lives, but it works both ways. Life without him is hard, but he still lives, just not in my world.

Date: 22nd October 2024
Time: 2pm – 3pm
Location: Phee Broadway Theatre
Price: Free
Lunch is provided from 12:30pm - 1:30pm at Community Lunch at Castlemaine Town Hall.

“The Vessel is a clever, funny, sad, heartbreaking snapshot into the world of ageing, aged care, dementia, complexities within relationships and families…and so many other things”
