Goodbye Eli Anderson - Ipswich Civic Centre

19 - 22 AUGUST 2026

Ipswich Civic Centre

Presented by THAT Production Company & Ipswich Civic Centre…

Eli Anderson knows how his own story ends, he's thought it over about a million times. Desperate to free himself of an overbearing father and cold older brother, Eli escapes one evening with the desire to see Uluru for the first time. That is until he's caught by Benji Hatchet, a runaway loner with more than enough words to share, as they embark on the road trip of a lifetime across Australia. Secrets, lies and 70's rock hits entangle and intertwine as both young men struggle to understand who they truly are with the world against them.

Written by award winning playwright Grace Wilson and directed by Artistic Director of THAT Production Company, Timothy Wynn.

Supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland, Ipswich On Stage program, with additional support from the Australian Theatre for Young People.
