Queensland Theatre: Julia

Julia Gillard’s 2012 ‘misogyny speech’ made headlines worldwide – and now, Julia brings that moment to the stage in a gripping solo performance, presented by Queensland Theatre from August 15 to 30. Written by Joanna Murray-Smith and directed by Sarah Goodes, this critically acclaimed production traces the personal and political journey of Australia’s first female Prime Minister. Justine Clarke stars in a revelatory portrait that explores gender, power and the cost of leadership, building to a powerful verbatim delivery of the now-iconic address. A bold and timely reflection on legacy, Julia – which is being staged at QPAC’s Playhouse – is a must-see. Be quick to book your seats.
