Now, over a decade later, Julia is both a compelling insight into the person behind the mask, and a reflection on the experience of women in contemporary politics. In a thrilling coming together of history and art, this incredible dramatic imagining renders a powerful monologue that takes us through key moments in Prime Minister Gillard's life, culminating in an electrifying verbatim performance of the ‘misogyny speech'.
The final of three blockbuster productions in Merrigong's 2025 season, screen and stage legend Justine Clarke steps into the shoes of Australia's first, and only, female prime minister, delivering an “electrifying” (The Guardian), and “fearsomely brilliant” (TimeOut) performance, that will be remembered for generations to come.
