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.

Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
Uked! | Bondi Theatre Company
Uked! is a sing along, string along, immersive jukebox musical, that's more folksy balladeering than an all out, all that jazz razzmatazz.
Doubt | Sydney Theatre Company
Contradiction, conundrum, conflict, racism, misogyny and homophobia run through this play like a main circuit cable snaking through a moral minefield of explosive allegation.
The Can Principle | Jonny Pasvolsky
Following the unedifying edict that "there's a sucker born every minute", the show skewers the modern self-improvement economy in a piss-take parody of today's 'gurus' and snake-oil salesmen.
The Lark | Hey Dowling
Noni Hazlehurst brings Rose and The Lark to colourful and compelling life in this one-woman show.

Middle Raged | Women with Pockets and Andrew Kay & Associates
Beautiful voices across the board, a lovely ease with one another, and enough self-awareness to never let the comedy become caricature.
The Book of Mormon
Once again we are treated to the door knocking, knee slapping, pearl clutching hilarity that has taken the world by storm and remained a popular success amongst the more devilish of us theatre patrons the world over.
Pretty Woman The Musical
Adapting a beloved film with the cultural status of 1990s Pretty Woman is a huge creative swing.
The Jungle and the Sea | Belvoir St Theatre
The Jungle and the Sea is one of the best pieces of theatre I have ever seen.
