Description Blending verbatim theatre, museum theatre and surrealism, Dear Mrs Edmondson draws on official war diaries, the personal diary of Mrs Maude Edmondson and condolence letter written to her. This is Maude's story; a case study in grief of mothers of Australian military personnel who, as a nation, we continue to send across thousands of miles of oceans to foreign lands. Step into Mrs Edmondson's space as she attempts to come to terms with the loss of her son, Jack, in Tobruk.
