In Their Own Words is a one-woman show, starring well-known stage and screen performer Rachael Beck. It celebrates the songs and stories of 20 trailblazing Australian women. Rachael weaves stories and anecdotes collected from iconic women including Ita Buttrose, Tanya Plibersek, Marcia Langton and Carlotta, with the music of famous Australian songwriters such as Missy Higgins, Kate Miller-Heidke, Kate Ceberano, and Dami Im, to create a powerful tapestry of female strength and achievement. From artists to scientists, politicians to humanitarians, these are stories of triumph and resilience – mostly never before heard on stage. Developed with writer James Millar, directed by Miranda Middleton, In Their Own Words is a moving musical tribute to some of the extraordinary Australian women who have defined and made their mark on our culture. With contributions from visual artists, architects, scientists, writers, songwriters, conservationists, politicians, athletes, entertainers and humanitarians, In Their Own Words celebrates the life, times and epiphanies of Australian women who have achieved incredible things and overcome incredible trials.
