This is a multi-disciplinary one-woman show starring well-known stage and screen performer Rachael Beck. In Their Own Words celebrates the songs and stories of 20 trailblazing Australian women – some recognised and many who are not.
Rachael weaves verbatim words and anecdotes collected from women including Ita Buttrose, Tanya Plibersek, Marcia Langton and Carlotta with the music of famous Australian songwriters, such as Missy Higgins, Kate Miller-Heidke, Kate Ceberano and Dami Im, to create a powerful tapestry of female strength and achievement. From artists to scientists, politicians to humanitarians, these are stories of triumph, resilience and breakthrough – most never before heard on stage.
Developed with writer James Millar and directed by Miranda Middleton, In Their Own Words is a moving musical tribute to some of the extraordinary Australian women who have defined and made their mark on our culture.
