Southbank Theatre The Sumner
Julia
by Joanna Murray-Smith
Directed by Sarah Goodes
A rich revealing portrait of a famously private figure. Julia represents much more than the individual who became Australia's first female prime minister. It's a portrait of us right now.
ABOUT THE SHOW
It lasted a mere 15 minutes but the ripples from Julia Gillard's famed 'misogyny speech' are felt a decade later.
Now a peerless team of the country's finest theatre makers tease apart the many threads that led to this pivotal moment in Australian political life.
Julia is a rich revealing portrait of a famously private figure.
From her youth as an optimistic advocate for change through to the cruel and punishing attacks she withstood as she grew in power Julia represents much more than the individual who became Australia's first female prime minister.
It's a portrait of us right now.
Written with impeccable insight by the legendary Joanna Murray-Smith (Berlin) directed by Helpmann Award-winning Sarah Goodes (Sunday) and performed by the phenomenal Justine Clarke and Jessica Bentley of the original cast this acclaimed Sydney Theatre Company and Canberra Theatre Centre co-production saw audiences clamouring for standing-room tickets during its premiere run in 2023.
Now Julia arrives in the town Prime Minister Gillard called home throughout her political term at a moment when women's rights around the world are under threats new and old to ask how far we've come.
