Set in a waiting room in the afterlife, it focuses on the souls of four very different strangers who have unsuccessfully all tried to take their own lives. Or is this not the truth? Instead, are they all en-route to the end. As time passes, and nothing happens, they all begin to regret their decision.

Then one comes to believe that there must be something they have to do before they will be sent home. But what? Apart from the seats, the only thing in this room is each other.

'While I can see the influences of Pinter. This is not Pinter. This is an original voice.' ~Bruce Beresford

'This is the finest piece of theatre I've seen in many years. It had belly laughs and was in tears. ' ~Megan Watts.

I laughed, I cried, I felt. It's raw and extremely real. The actors are beyond amazing, the writing is phenomenal. It was an occasional shifting of bodies that brought you back to the reality that reminded you that this was a play.~Natalie Powell

Thoroughly enjoyed this yesterday. If you get the chance recommended very highly. Funny, touching and poignant. Great performances by all involved.~Brian Molony

 Brilliant is all I can say. It's a story that needs to be told and everyone needs to see it.~Charlie Heylar

What an absolutely brilliant show. Fantastc actors, superbly written. The cast, writer and everyone associated with Marooned thoroughly deserved their standing ovation and extended applause. A great theatre experience.~Jeffrey Byrant Jones

Cannot say how much I enjoyed it. Beautifully written. Brilliantly acted. I laughed, I cried and I pondered. A truly wonderful piece of work.~Deb Mitchell

This is a really important play~Elise Anderson

A superb play. The Script is absolutely amazing. ~Maria O'Sullivan

Marooned, a play about suicide, but I'm absolutely blown away about how it was dealt with in this amazing production. I laughed, (quite unexpectedly) I cried and looked at life in a completely different way afterwards. ~Mick O'Conner

 It's a must go see play (if I get a chance I will be back again to see it). A beautiful but yet brilliant truthful performance about a taboo subject. ~Melissa OHanlon-Karsai

Emotionally moving and extremely thought provoking.~Rhett May

Riveting the entire way through, with complex twists and turns that are entirely relatable to the audience.   This is several stories on a trajectory no one can predict. This play has successfully tackled the enormity of a major societal issue inadequately addressed in many mediums. Bravo!~Sandee Allen

Cannot wait to see the show again as you tour around for the Defence. I appreciate all your amazing talent and engaging so many to discuss such an important topic.~Kylie Graham

After 40 odd years in theatre I think this work was one of the best crafted and performed pieces that genuinely touches your soul. I will never forget it!~Wayne Cahill
