Sydney Theatre Company's RBG: Of Many, One tells the story of pioneering US judge Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and will be at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre from April 3 to 5.
Written by lawyer turned playwright Suzie Miller and starring Heather Mitchell, it follows the life of Ginsburg, from the age of 13 to her death at the age of 87 and maps her most significant achievements.
Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1933, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a lawyer and jurist.
She became just the second women to serve on the Supreme Court after being nominated by Bill Clinton in 1993, serving until her death in 2020.
Bader Ginsburg became a feminist folk hero due to her outspoken advocacy for women's rights issues, famously championing abortion rights, and railing against discrimination against women in the education sector and workplace.
The show played to sell-out audiences and standing ovations across its inaugural eight-week Sydney season in 2022.
The production is directed by Priscilla Jackman.
