STELLA – A New Australian Musical

The Ian Potter Centre for Performing Arts
Monash University Clayton Campus

$40 - $85

Literary icon Stella Miles Franklin’s extraordinary life story has until now been overshadowed by attention on her debut novel My Brilliant Career and the literary awards that carry her name — the Miles Franklin Award and The Stella Prize.

This world premiere production of STELLA – A New Australian Musical now brings Franklin’s untold story of an 1890’s bush girl from the Snowy Mountains who sacrifices family, security and belonging in relentless pursuit of a creative life – and her stunning contribution to Australian cultural life.
