Strong is the New Pretty - Brisbane Festival
QPAC
Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Suzie Miller, the celebrated Australian playwright is bringing Strong is the New Pretty to the Playhouse, QPAC from September 1 to 19.
She is behind the sell-out smash hit RBG: Of Many, One and international phenomenon Prima Facie, turns her extraordinary talents to the historical 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 the extraordinary characters who took the league from a pipe dream to a sensation the sports world could no longer ignore.
Get ready to barrack your heart out for a performance that promises a nail-biting match, not just for sport lovers but for anyone looking to be uplifted by an inspiring story of determination, legacy and pride. It’s theatre written in mud, sweat, and belief!
