A review in The Australian cited on the Gardens Theatre, QUT said, Ten seconds into Jason Klarwein's magnificent new production of The 7 Stages of Grieving, and you're hooked by the sense of history. Humble, decent and engaging, Deemal is the personification of the play's inclusive message: that what drives superficial anger is, in reality, an enduring sense of grief.
