“One of the all-time great performances.” – The Sydney Morning Herald
After a triumphant and sold-out Australian national tour, the smash-hit solo show RBG: Of Many, One returns to stages across Australia in 2026 and, then, moves directly to Auckland.
The brilliant Heather Mitchell AM will be reviving her award- winning and critically acclaimed “virtuosic performance” (The Conversation) of the woman who changed the face of the American legal system: the indomitable Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The second woman to be appointed to the US Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was both a trailblazer in the American judiciary and a fierce advocate for gender equality and reproductive rights. Her life is brought to the stage by the extraordinary pen of Olivier Award-winning Australian playwright and expert legal mind, Suzie Miller (Prima Facie). This story chronicles Ginsburg’s wins and dissents, traces her steps forward and the steps back, and brings you right into the room with her at the most pivotal moments of her life.
A master stroke of directorial vision, Priscilla Jackman reconjures RBG in this once-in-a-generation theatrical event that continues to find resonances with the political landscape of the present day. If you haven’t seen it yet, now is your chance to witness the sensation that is “magnificent from start to finish” (Limelight).
Original 2022 World Premiere Season and 2026 Auckland Season supported by Frances Allan and Ian Narev.
“Mitchell answers every call upon her art with such poise, beauty, humour, insight and intelligence as brings tears to the eyes of even this dry old critic.”
