Their belief is that at midnight on October 31\, the spirits of loved ones can come down to enjoy the festivities that are prepared especially for them. \nOne of the biggest traditions of the festival is creating an offering of the favourite foods of their loved ones. The key purpose of this custom is a reminder of good memories and to show their loved ones that they are not forgotten. \nThis social evening at the centre is a chance for us to come together and share stories about our loved ones\, the stories that made us laugh\, the things that drove us crazy and everything in between. \nIt is a chance to celebrate the things that made each of them special\, with people who truly understand the joy in being able to talk about our children\, our siblings\, and our grandchildren. \nBring a photo that can be pinned up on a garland (not in a frame). \nBring a plate of food to share that is the one thing you think of when you think of your child’s\, sibling’s or grandchild’s favourite food.

When billionaire Claire Zachanassian returns to her impoverished hometown of Güllen\, she offers the citizens a fortune – on one chilling condition: they must kill the man who once betrayed her. Initially appalled\, the townspeople slowly rationalise the murder. \nDürrenmatt masterfully exposes the fragility of ethics under financial desperation\, weaving absurdity and irony into a haunting critique of collective guilt. As Claire’s grotesque entourage and surreal demands unfold\, the play explores the dark side of human nature\, especially societal compromise. ‘The Visit’ is a masterpiece of 20th Century European theatre – we are proud to bring this seldom-performed work to the Malvern stage. \n\n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Phone*Email*\n \n People Attending*Please let us know how many people you are registering to attend.This field is hidden when viewing the formProduct Code...Used to sync CRM and MYOBMovie NightTotal\n $ 0.00\n \n Credit Card* URL:https://www.compassionatefriendsvictoria.org.au/event/the-visit-malvern-theatre/ LOCATION:Malvern Theatre\, 29A Burke Road\, East Malvern\, Victoria\, Australia CATEGORIES:General,TCFV ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.compassionatefriendsvictoria.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2026-3-The-Visit_main-image.jpg GEO:-37.874882;145.048127 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Malvern Theatre 29A Burke Road East Malvern Victoria Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=29A Burke Road:geo:145.048127,-37.874882 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20250821T200000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20250821T230000 DTSTAMP:20250725T032313Z CREATED:20250507T053109Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250725T032313Z UID:15051-1755806400-1755817200@www.compassionatefriendsvictoria.org.au SUMMARY:'The Humans' - Malvern Theatre DESCRIPTION:Please note that sessions for this event have now sold out.\n  \nTHE MALVERN THEATRE COMPANY AND THE COMPASSIONATE FRIENDS VICTORIA PRESENT \n‘The Humans‘ by Stephen Karam\nThursday 21 August 2025\n8:00 pm – 11:00 pm \nThe Humans’ is a poignant\, award-winning drama (Tony Awards\, Best Play) that\, with humour and compassion explores the tensions and bonds in family life today. \nIn Brigid’s run-down New York apartment\, with bad wi-fi and strange noises upstairs\, the Blake family comes together to celebrate Thanksgiving\, bringing with them their anxieties\, fears\, and hidden struggles. \nBut as they cook and eat\, bicker and joke\, darkness begins to fall and long buried tensions and secrets start to emerge.
