Very occasionally, there is a new piece of theatre created which gets everything just right, that it becomes an instant classic. My Brilliant Career is one of those shows. The new musical based on the novel by Miles Franklin, with a book by Sheridan Harbridge and Dean Bryant, music by Mathew Frank and Dean Bryant and directed by Anne-Louise Sarks is quite simply brilliant.

In the central role of Sybylla Melvyn, Kala Gare is phenomenal.

After you've listened to this episode, I urge everyone to go see this incredible show.

Or at the very least, check out Melbourne Theatre Company's Instagram and revel in the sublime songs from the musical.
