head up the Melbourne Theatre Company’s 2024 program, alongside four Pulitzer Prize-winning plays.Anne-Louise Sarks and Sheridan Harbridge are teaming up for Melbourne Theatre Company’s My Brilliant Career, a musical based on the novel by Miles Franklin.“I came on board with a mission to bring Australian stories to the stage, and to really get the wider public excited about live theatre,” says artistic director and co-CEO Anne-Louise Sarks.
Sarks adds: “Music is a beautiful way to get inside that emotion and wildness. It’s a really fun piece. It’s a musical I wish I’d seen as a young girl.” “The Matildas recently swept people up in their vision of their game, and AFLW is the same. It’s different when you start to see yourself in the game, or on the stage.”
Sarks says much of the program is about how we define ourselves through stories. “We can experience these stories together, and leave the theatre and wrestle with these ideas,” she says.Miles Franklin is one of Australian literature’s great figures. centres on Sybylla, an indomitable teenage girl living in staid rural Australia. The novel was released just one year before women were granted the right to vote in Australia.
