Noni Hazlehurst Brings New One-Woman Drama The Lark to QPAC’s Cremorne Theatre Next Month

While as a kid of the 90s, Noni Hazlehurst is most well known for her roles on shows like Play School and Better Homes and Gardens, the Australian icon has in recent years been exploring a more serious and complex side of performance – mostly through her one-person show Mother. Following its world premiere at Arts Centre Melbourne this month, it has been confirmed that her next work, The Lark, will be making its Queensland premiere at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s Cremorne Theatre from 15 to 26 October. Written for Noni Hazlehurst by award-winning Australian playwright Daniel Keene and directed by Matt Scholten, the one-woman work reunites the creative team behind Mother.

Set inside The Lark, a fading pub in inner-city Melbourne slated for demolition, the play follows 75-year-old Rose Grey as she bids farewell to the building that was once her childhood home and later her livelihood. As the suburb gentrifies around her, Rose sifts through a lifetime of memories, confronting grief, change and the pull of the past while searching for a way forward.

Commenting on The Lark, Noni Hazlehurst shared:

The opportunity to work with Daniel and Matt creating Mother was a rare privilege and a joy. To have the chance to collaborate again on The Lark is a miracle. No actor could ask for more.

Presented by QPAC, The Lark is an Arts Centre Melbourne and Hey Dowling production. Tickets are on sale via the centre’s website, or by calling their box office team during business hours on 136 246.
