Gia Ophelia
 

GIA OPHELIA
by Grace Wilson

11-15 February

KXT on Broadway

181 Broadway, Ultimo

 

Struggling with infertility and a stalled acting career, Gia wants to play Ophelia one last time.

 

Fresh from its award-winning Sydney Fringe Festival World Premiere, Gia Ophelia is back in 2026 at KXT on Broadway. Written by Grace Wilson (Patrick White Playwright Award Finalist), directed by Jo Bradley (Snowflake), and starring Annie Stafford (Stupid Fucking Bird), Gia Ophelia is a darkly comic one-woman satire, skewering sexism and ageism in the arts.

 

Gia played Ophelia once when she was younger and fresh on the scene. And now she’s older and wiser, and ready to give Ophelia one last crack. But she’s not the same youthful Gia she once was. Conflicted by the trials of motherhood, infertility and her youth passing her by, Gia must ask herself where her priorities lie and what it truly means to be a mother and an artist.

    Even the instruments are custom-cool, bare down to the bones like the skeletal relics of orchestras of the underworld.

    The Book of Mormon
     It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.

    A Mirror | Belvoir
    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

     Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
