THE LARK
About This Event
Acclaimed Australian playwright Daniel Keene's new work The Lark takes flight in the Space Theatre at Adelaide Festival Centre from Thursday 25 June to Sunday 5 July 2026 — a tender, incisive new Australian play about memory, family and the things we leave behind.
One of Australia's most internationally produced playwrights returns to the Space Theatre with a brand-new work. The Lark, by Daniel Keene, runs from Thursday 25 June to Sunday 5 July 2026 — a new Australian play that balances quiet power with a profoundly human heart.
Delicate, precise and deeply felt, The Lark explores the space between what we remember and what we choose to forget. Keene — whose work has been translated into multiple languages and staged across Europe, the UK and North America — has long been praised for his ear for the rhythms of everyday speech, his empathy for those on society's edges, and his ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary.
Presented in the intimate Space Theatre at Adelaide Festival Centre, this is an up-close encounter with one of Australia's finest dramatic voices, staged by a cast and creative team matched to the material's hushed intensity.
