Queensland Theatre's COST OF LIVING performance season
2024-06-22 14:00 - 2024-07-13 21:00 | Bille Brown Theatre, South Brisbane, Queensland Theatre, 78 Montague Road, South Brisbane, Brisbane, Queensland, 4101, Australia
Queensland Theatre’s COST OF LIVING Bille Brown Theatre Until 13 July (various performances Mon-Sat – check times on webpage for evenings 6.30pm/7.30pm and matinees Wed and Sat) Does love have a bottom line? Former carer turned Playwright Martyna Majok won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for this play in 2018 and it’s easy to see why. This is a beautifully rendered story about our need to care (or be cared for) no matter the distance that age, class, race and disability might place between us. Told with deft humour and enormous heart, the Australian premiere of this highly-lauded work is directed by Priscilla Jackman (The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race) and Dan Daw, also appearing as John, with Philip Quast as Eddie, Kate Hood as Ani and Zoe de Plevitz as Jess. Martyna Majok won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Cost of Living. The play centres on two sets of relationships. John, a wealthy student at Princeton University with cerebral palsy, hires the secretive Jess as his carer. Meanwhile, unemployed truck driver Eddie tries to reconcile with his ex-wife Ani, who has become a wheelchair user after an accident. This co-production between Queensland Theatre and Sydney Theatre Company is co-directed by Priscilla Jackman and Dan Daw, who plays John. “It’s an incredibly powerful story about the intersection of people [who have a] lived experience of disability and those who don’t, and people who have the privilege of money and those who don’t,” says Kip Williams, Artistic Director of STC. “Worth its weight in gold”— The New York Times “Sensational! The kind of theatre that imprints on the body and lives in your bones”— Variety A bit more about the play and artists at this link: https://queenslandtheatre.com.au/plays/cost-of-living Warning – This production contains full frontal male nudity, underwater submersion, occasional strong language, herbal and e-cigarettes and the use of haze.

International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples
2024-08-09
International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples is celebrated every year on 9th August.
On this day we are encouraged to:

Celebrate the rich cultural heritage and traditions of Indigenous communities.
Highlight their right to self-determination – the importance of their freedom to decide their political status and pursue economic, social, and cultural development.
Seek ways to amplify Indigenous voices and promote greater respect and understanding.

Why?
There are an estimated 476 million Indigenous Peoples across the world, representing over 5000 different cultures, and speaking the majority of the world’s 7000 languages. Despite their cultural differences, Indigenous Peoples face common challenges in protecting their unique rights.
This year’s theme: Voluntary Isolation and Initial Contact
Globally there are approximately 200 groups of Indigenous Peoples currently residing in remote forests in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Peru and Venezuela. For these isolated communities, threats such as the introduction of diseases from external contact can have devastating effects on whole communities. By respecting their isolation and understanding their needs, we can help protect these communities from preventable harm
Raising awareness
Businesses play a crucial role in raising awareness and supporting Indigenous communities. By acknowledging days of significance such as this, you can help to drive meaningful change, creating a more inclusive, equitable workplace which honours and celebrates the richness of Indigenous cultures.
As we observe this day, it is important we also recognise Indigenous people in our own community. By understanding and acknowledging these local experiences, we can deepen our commitment to advocating for their rights and wellbeing. Their stories and experiences also add to our understanding of the broader challenges faced by Indigenous populations worldwide.
Further Information
To learn more or find ways to get involved, visit the UN’s International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples website.
