"A moment of theatre magic." The Australian

"...good humoured, graceful and celebratory tale." The Sydney Morning Herald

"On opening night, the audience leapt to its feet in spontaneous applause, giving Gulpilil the heartfelt ovation it deserved."
The Advertiser, Adelaide

Congratulations to David Gulpilil for winning Actor of the Year at the 2004 Deadlys.


Written by
David Gulpilil and Reg Cribb

Directed by
Neil Armfield

With
David Gulpilil


One of our greatest movie stars, David Gulpilil, has lived his life in two worlds. Taken from school in Marwuyu, Arnhem Land, to appear in Nicholas Roeg's 1971 film Walkabout, his life is an epic tale of a traditional young Mandipingu man who, without a word of English, rockets to international attention. A man of intense charismatic charm and cultural certainty, for the last 35 years he has maintained an often precarious balance between his traditional life and his work in the film industry.

He has written his story with Reg Cribb and performed it at Stephen Page's 2004 Adelaide Festival and the ENERGEX Brisbane Festival. Gulpilil will be directed by Neil Armfield.

"It was a moment of theatre magic." The Australian

"David Gulpilil is a mesmerising dancer, actor, showman, comic, musician and storyteller.On opening night, the audience leapt to its feet in spontaneous applause, giving Gulpilil the heartfelt ovation it deserved." The Advertiser, Adelaide

"Passion, instinct and timing are a big part of the equation but there's also an inherent mystery that can make constantly evolving acts of expression in the theatre a marvel to behold. David Gulpilil's natural talents as a performer bring all of these elements into play.... [a] good-humoured, graceful and celebratory tale." Bryce Hallet, The Sydney Morning Herald
