“Kick it to me!”

The celebrated Australian playwright behind sell-out smash hit RBG: Of Many, One and international phenomena Prima Facie and Inter Alia, Suzie Miller turns her extraordinary talents to the birth 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 Aussie theatre-makers behind the original Prima Facie: director Lee Lewis and star Sheridan Harbridge. Now fielding a brilliant lineup of eight players including Lucy Bell and Amy Ingram, this dream team writes a love letter to a game and a community.

It’s theatre written in mud, sweat, and belief. It’s not just about a sport. It’s about a revolution.
