My Brilliant Career

My Brilliant Career will premiere at Melbourne Theatre Company in November this year.

Sybylla Melvyn is the smartest, funniest, most outrageous teenager Australia has ever witnessed. Just ask her.

She’s growing up in the 90s – the 1890s, that is – where life doesn’t throw a lot of options at a girl. But life didn’t reckon on Sybylla. Forced to choose between romance and her own genius, her family and a future she defines, she’s decided she’s having it all.

Miles Franklin’s novel My Brilliant Career still pulsates with the wild electric energy that made it such a sensation a century ago, and this new adaptation channels that fire into a high-energy musical. It’s a makeover that transforms one of our most enduring literary figures into a heroine for this very moment, while retaining all the wit and charm that has made this such a timeless work.

Show People 

Show People played a smash engagement at Sydney Festival and was chosen as a Festival highlight by ABC and Sydney Morning Herald;

“a hilarious and cutting satire that doesn't shy away from the ugliness of the industry, whether that be its failure to accommodate the needs of mothers, or its mishandling of accusations of sexual harassment…while the subject matter may seem serious at times, the show is overwhelmingly joyful” - ABC

“eviscerating, entertaining and executed with aplomb. Brilliant.” - SMH

Virgins: A Musical Threesome has been remastered and is streaming for the first time on Spotify and iTunes.
