Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again
 

“Theatrical exhilaration in civil disobedience.” — The New York Times

Written by Alice Birch

Directed by Emily O’Brien-Brown

Presented by Wit Incorporated

Alice Birch’s Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. is a ferocious work of contemporary theatre that refuses to behave. Through sharp, surreal and darkly funny vignettes, it twists words into weapons and turns everyday rituals inside out. What begins as an assault on the language and traditions that have shaped “womanhood” becomes something larger: a call to tear down the systems of oppression that divide and diminish us all.

 In 2025, we explore this play through an intersectional lens inspired by bell hooks’ insistence that feminism is for everybody—across race, class and all gender expressions. Our company of artists bring their collective force to the stage, confronting the very structures we are working and breathing within. Revolt is startling and disarming, a howl of protest and maybe a map toward possibility: unflinching, unapologetic and urgently alive.

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
