“I was fortunate to sit “fireside” at Theatre Works in St Kilda for this extraordinary production, which transforms the life of Taungurung Elder Larry Walsh into something both profoundly personal and unmistakably political — a work that shines a light on society, systems, and survival.”
“Not simply a portrait of suffering, but one of endurance.”
“The ensemble cast delivers exceptional work, with Sermsah Bin Saad, Nathan Wright, and Riley Warner sharing the formidable task of bringing Larry Walsh to life. Each performer brings a distinct emotional texture to the role, creating a portrait that feels expansive and layered.”
It’s On The House ★★★★
"Deeply moving, upsetting and, ultimately, uplifting."
"A compelling story that needed to be told and it resonates loudly and proudly."
"I can’t speak more highly of the performances or the execution"
"An extraordinary true story... about pain and injustice, resistance and spirit."
"A deep dive into culture, resilience, community and Country."
"The tight direction... keeps the action moving."
“A Powerful Story Of Survival & Strength”
“A powerful and inspiring retelling of the life of Taungurung elder Larry Walsh, Lazarus remains an impressive production”
“Yhere is constant dynamism from the supporting cast and strong prose underpinning the entire show”
“Larry Walsh’s story carries enormous power and heart, and this production has the foundations to do it justice.”
“Brought to life by a wonderful cast”
“What engages our emotions and our laughter and makes the story new are Harding's imposition of cause-and-effect, the performances and the fluid, almost choregraphed, kinetic direction of Kamarra Bell-Wykes”
“It's a story, in broad outlines, that we know. That is, that we should know, that we should not ignore”
The discussion demonstrates how experimental theatre can become a space for exploration, risk-taking, and creative growth, allowing old photo colour artists to engage with difficult themes while developing innovative ways to communicate with audiences.
