Julia at Allen Hall

By OAR FM Dunedin - Community Access Media | Posted: Wednesday Nov 11, 2026

One-woman show Julia, directed by Mel Dodge and starring Lara Macgregor, starts its run at Allen Hall Theatre in Dunedin on 11 November. The play takes audiences behind the scenes of Australian prime minister Julia Gillard's landmark "misogyny speech" of 2012.

Following on the resounding success of its season in Wellington, Birds of a Feather are proudly bringing JULIA to Dunedin (11-22 November at Allen Hall Theatre).

In 2012, Julia Gillard delivered a speech that ricocheted across Australia, New Zealand, and around the world. Now, the woman and the moment is brought to the stage in Julia. This gripping one-woman show puts us inside a very public storm and reveals the life and career that led to it.

Lara Macgregor, who stars as Julia, joins director Mel Dodge to talk about the upcoming season on the OARsome Morning Show.
