Theatre review: The 7 Stages of Grieving, Subiaco Arts Centre

30 years after its premiere season sent lightning bolts through Australian theatres, this one woman play still strikes a chord.

Three people sit on a couch, a mousy woman in her 30/40s dressed in brown, an older woman in a turquoise housecoat and turban and a man in his 30/40s dressed in brown and facing off with the older woman. A coffee table is in front of them. Mother Play.

A black woman and a black man are laughing. She's wearing a white hat and a yellow suit, he's wearing a grey suit with a red tie.
