Event Description
- Tactile tour at 11.30 am, followed by performance at 1 pm.
'Strong is the New Pretty' is a movement brought to life on stage. It’s the story of how Australia’s women refused to wait their turn, rewriting the rules of the nation’s favourite sport and sparking a revolution that transformed the AFL landscape forever.
The celebrated Australian playwright behind sell-out smash hit 'RBG: Of Many', 'One' and international phenomenon 'Prima Facie', Suzie Miller turns her extraordinary talents to the formation of the AFLW in this world premiere.
In 2010, an official report into the state of Australian Rules Football recommended the creation of a national women’s league. Seven years and a whole lot of grit, passion and fancy footwork later, the AFLW was born. This is the untold story of how the league went from a pipe dream to a sensation the sports world could no longer ignore.
With her gift for docudrama and trademark insight and warmth, Miller teams with a brilliant lineup of eight players including Lucy Bell, Amy Ingram and Tara Morice, in a love letter to a game and a community.
It’s theatre written in mud, sweat, and belief.
