The End of Winter

Will climate change erase winter leaving it to exist only in fairy tales, paintings, and historical accounts?

In hot, bushfire-prone Australia our winters are becoming warmer and shorter. The End of Winter is about loss and resilience. It’s about the places one can search for cold weather —places that can be reached via public transport and the imagination.

Noëlle Janaczewska is a multi-award-winning Australian writer whose plays, radio scripts, libretti, fiction, and essays have been performed, broadcast and published throughout Australia and overseas.

This is a new work for the stage that speaks to our current climate crisis and will start at 7 pm. Written in the wake of the devastation of the 2019 bush fires it asks: what’s happening to winter?
