Strong is the New Pretty is a movement brought to life on stage. It's the story of how Australia's women refused to wait their turn, rewriting the rules of the nation's favourite sport and sparking a revolution that transformed the AFL landscape forever.
The celebrated Australian playwright behind sell-out smash hit RBG: Of Many, One and international phenomenon Prima Facie, Suzie Miller turns her extraordinary talents to the formation of the AFLW in this world premiere.
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.
With her gift for docudrama and trademark insight and warmth, Miller reunites with the director behind the original Prima Facie: Lee Lewis. 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.
