MY BRILLIANT CAREER

19 Apr 2026 – 3 May 2026

Playwright
Miles Franklin (novel); Book by Sheridan Harbridge and Dean Bryant
Director
Anne-Louise Sarks
Miles Franklin's classic novel as you've never seen it before, with a live soundtrack that's equal parts contemporary pop, folksy bush band and barnstorming pub rock. A fiercely intelligent young woman in 1890s Australia rallies against the idea that her ambition should start and end at finding a wealthy husband.
