Elaine Crombie: Grief, Love, and Lead Balloons

A proud Pitjantjatjara, Warrigmal, South Sea, and German descendant, Elaine Crombie is a storyteller with razor-sharp comic timing and a powerful stage presence. Effortlessly moving between comedy and drama, her stories are as heartfelt as they are hilarious.

Elaine is journeying though a grief season that's packed with all the fabourites tjamu, Nana, Mum, Dad and NannyGirl. Come along and see some photos of a very cute brownie, a chlorine bleached swimmer and listen to some tunes and complaints from a woman forever changed by stage left exits. This show is a part of Fringe Encore: Ballarat.
