Do Not Go Gentle

In November 1911, Captain Robert Falcon Scott—naval officer, adventurer and explorer—led an intrepid, and ultimately doomed, race to the South Pole. In this searing masterpiece by Patricia Cornelius, winner of both the NSW and Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards, the vast ice of Antarctica becomes a haunting metaphor for old age: majestic, unknowable and unyielding.

A group of aged-care residents imagine themselves as members of Scott’s ill-fated expedition—battered by snow, blinded by wind, and pushing through a landscape as unforgiving as memory itself. This is not merely a journey to the South Pole, but a lyrical and unflinching exploration of ageing, resilience, and the extraordinary power of love to guide us back to ourselves.

Written by one of Australia’s most accomplished playwrights, Do Not Go Gentle moves between two poetic worlds: one of epic adventure, and another of quiet valediction.

Directed by Heather Fairbairn and featuring an extraordinary cast including Andrew Buchanan, Jennifer Flowers, Christen O’Leary, Bruce Spence, Steven Grives and William Zappa, this once-in-a-generation production rages against the inevitable—our own mortality.

A rallying cry for dignity, defiance and the fire that still burns in ageing bodies and steadfast spirits, Do Not Go Gentle is a work that demands to be witnessed.
