Rachel Beck: In Her Own Words

In Her Words lifts the veil on some of Australia’s most iconic and ground-breaking women. Australian star of stage and screen, Rachael Beck, takes you on an inspirational journey celebrating the songs and stories of twenty trailblazing Australian women; some who are recognised, many of whom are not.

Rachael weaves her own life stories entwined with verbatim words, anecdotes and songs collected from 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, resilience, and breakthrough – 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.
