The life and legacy of trailblazing American Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg take centre stage in RBG: Of Many, One.
Known simply as RGB to her legions of admirers, Ginsburg was only the second woman ever appointed to the US Supreme Court in its more-than-200-year history. An American lawyer and jurist, she served as an associate justice from 1993 at age 60 until her death in 2020, dedicating much of her legal career to championing gender equality and women’s rights. Her landmark arguments before the Court reshaped the legal landscape for generations of women.
And now, following a triumphant premiere season in 2022 and a sold-out national tour in 2024, the smash-hit production returns in 2026.
The brilliant Heather Mitchell revives her award-winning, critically acclaimed “virtuosic performance” (The Conversation) as the indomitable woman who changed the face of American law.
Mitchell says the power of RBG’s story continues to resonate deeply.
“I absolutely love this show. I’ve performed more than 250 performances to amazing audiences and feel rewarded every single time by their response,” she said. “RBG’s legacy is more relevant than ever. She fought tirelessly for gender equality and women’s rights and was an extraordinary woman. The play really captures her personal and professional life.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s journey is brought to life through the extraordinary writing of Olivier Award-winning Australian playwright and legal mind Suzie Miller (Prima Facie). Miller’s work is known for exploring complex human stories and themes of injustice, and her plays have been produced around the world to widespread acclaim.
Her prolific career spans more than 40 productions internationally, with commissions and residencies at leading institutions including London’s National Theatre, the National Theatre of Scotland, Griffin Theatre Company, Theatre Gargantua, and La Boite Theatre Company. Miller was also selected for a prestigious two-year mentorship with renowned US playwright Edward Albee (The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?).
Her recent works include The Mathematics of Longing (La Boite Brisbane and UK), Sunset Strip (Griffin Theatre Sydney, followed by an Australian national tour), DUST (Black Swan Theatre Perth; winner of the WA Premier’s Award for Scriptwriting), Driving Into Walls (Sydney Opera House), Caress/Ache (Griffin Theatre Sydney), and the adults-only Snow White libretto (Opera Queensland/La Boite/Brisbane Festival). She has also created a feminist adaptation of Medea (La Boite Theatre) and Velvet Evening Séance (Edinburgh and Scottish tour).
Miller’s screenwriting credits include Prima Facie (Bunya/Participant Media LA), DUST (Bunya), Life’s Too Short (Hoodlum), Sunset Strip and TOUCH. She continues to develop several television projects, including Creatures of Mayhem (Matchbox/NBC 2021), Bruny (Film Art Media), Things with No Name (Bunya) and Beechmont (Synchronicity – Aus/UK).
With a background in science, a Masters in Law and a PhD in theatre and mathematics, Miller splits her time between Sydney and London.
RBG: Of Many, One traces Ginsburg’s wins and dissents, her steps forward and the steps back, bringing audiences directly into the room with RBG during the most defining moments of her life.
Under the masterful direction of Priscilla Jackman, this once-in-a-generation theatrical event continues to echo against today’s political climate.
Now is your chance to witness the sensation described as “magnificent from start to finish” (Limelight).
Don’t miss the return of this critically acclaimed production.
