Strong is the New Pretty

Welcome to the world premiere of Strong is the New Pretty, a powerful movement brought to life on stage that celebrates women breaking barriers in Australian Rules Football! ⚽💪

Written by the acclaimed playwright Suzie Miller, known for the smash hit RBG: Of Many, One and the international sensation Prima Facie, this docudrama tells the remarkable story of how Australia’s women fought for their place in a sport dominated by men.

In 2010, a report recommended the creation of a national women’s league, and seven years later, with grit, passion, and persistence, the AFLW came to life. Strong is the New Pretty captures this incredible journey and how the league sparked a revolution in the sports landscape.

Director Lee Lewis reunites with Miller to bring this inspiring tale to the stage, featuring an exceptional cast of eight players, including Lucy Bell, Amy Ingram, and Tara Morice. This performance is a love letter to the game and its community, highlighting the sweat, determination, and belief of these trailblazers! 🎭❤️

Join us at the Canberra Museum And Gallery for this unforgettable theatrical experience!
