World Premiere Season
2026 Victorian exclusive

It’s not just about a sport. It’s about a revolution.

A new play by Suzie Miller, the celebrated Australian playwright behind sell-out smash hit RBG: Of Many, One and international phenomena Prima Facie and Inter Alia, Suzie Miller turns her extraordinary talents to the birth of the AFLW in this world premiere – Strong Is The New Pretty.

In 2010, an official report into the state of Australian Rules Football recommended the creation of a national women’s league. Seven years and a whole lot of grit, passion and fancy footwork later, the AFLW was born. This is the untold story of how the league went from a pipe dream to a sensation the sports world could no longer ignore.

Now fielding a brilliant lineup of eight players including Lucy Bell, Amy Ingram and Tara Morice, this dream team writes a love letter to a game and a community.

It’s theatre written in mud, sweat, and belief. It’s not just about a sport. It’s about a revolution.
