A MESSAGE FROM KIP WILLIAMS “A work that celebrates the power of creating change” The premiere season of RBG: Of Many, One in 2022 represented an incredible coming together of some of this country’s finest theatre makers, in a work that celebrates the power of creating change. It was also an historic piece of stagecraft that profoundly inspired many of us by shining a light on the work still to be done. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was one of those once-in-a-generation personalities. She had an incredible mind, a courageous and indefatigable commitment to justice and a deep and profound sense of humanity. Her singular and striking perspective also makes her a natural subject for drama. Who better to bring her to the stage than Suzie Miller, an iconoclast (in both the law and the arts) in her own right? The international theatre community is still buzzing from the whirlwind success of Suzie’s previous play, Prima Facie, and its ability to capture the complex underpinnings of the law with raw humanity. Like Ruth, Suzie brings intelligence and compassion together to create remarkable results. RBG: Of Many, One was Suzie’s first STC commission and we were beyond thrilled to welcome her wonderful words to The Wharf. The 2022 season of RBG: Of Many, One, also marked the return of a much-beloved STC power couple: Heather Mitchell and Priscilla Jackman. Heather’s profound gifts as an 2
actor and theatremaker, her compassion, and enrapturing stage presence are at the heart of why this show was so adored. These talents are beautifully complimented by Priscilla’s generous and empathetic storytelling abilities, her insight and vision, and her commitment to genuine artistic collaboration. Although we knew we had a winning combination on our hands, nothing could have prepared my colleagues for the remarkable reception of the 2022 production. A sold-out season left too many theatregoers still eager to witness the magic of this show. So, when programming the 2024 season it was obvious to all involved, this production needed a return season at STC – this time on the stage at Sydney Opera House’s Drama Theatre – and to be sent across the country in a national tour. I’m overjoyed to again be sharing in this special work of Australian theatre with all of you. It’s an immense privilege to remember Ruth’s legacy and to be able to revel in the talents of the artistic powerhouses that have made this production so wonderful.

WRITER’S NOTE: SUZIE MILLER As a young female law student, I looked up to women judges; they were groundbreakers for me, and they remain so. The more women in powerful legal positions, the more opportunity for the law to be influenced by women’s lived experiences. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, herself, brought all her intelligence and thoughtfulness to her judicial profession; she brought her feminism, her roles as mother, daughter, life-partner; she bought her Jewish background, her childhood of loss and socio-economic repression, she brought her incredibly flexible mind and her sharp senses. She brought herself as a woman completely and without apology. All of which has not only influenced the USA but women’s lives around the world – including women and lawyers in Australia.
“I wanted to focus on the incredible legacy of RBG, and specific conversations/ dialogues she had with three different US presidents” Throughout her life, RBG felt strongly about democracy and the rule of law, and to ensure both of these, she applauded the strict separation of executive and judicial powers. The rule of law, in short, means that no one is above the law – including 4
leaders and politicians. This accountability and transparency must never be taken for granted, and the separation of powers – that the government and the courts must never interfere with or seek to influence each other – is a way of keeping the checks and balances on both the government and judges of the day. This is democracy in action. With RBG: Of Many, One, I was so warmly supported by Kip Williams, Artistic Director at STC in expressing my unique vision for the play. I wanted to focus on the incredible legacy of RBG, and specific conversations/ dialogues she had with three different US presidents: Clinton, Obama and Trump. In particular, I wanted to explore how even the mighty and most brilliant of us can make mistakes, and that what protects our way of life is the rule of law itself. In writing RBG: Of Many, One it was always Heather Mitchell who was to play her. Her talent is astonishing. Heather’s love of the character and her full-bodied soulful investment is a gift. In Priscilla Jackman I have found a brilliant director, one I admire for her talent, intellect, commitment and sheer bloody-mindedness in getting it right. In David Fleischer’s design there is a magnificent realisation of the sheer size and power of the institution Ruth served, and the big life she led. The lights and sound have created a landscape that I could only have dreamed of, operatic, moody, fun and exciting – I thank both Paul Charlier and Alexander Berlage for their vision and hard work, together with Stage Manager Katie Hankin. For their dramaturgy, I thank; Polly Rowe, Kip Williams, Caleb Lewis, Paige Rattray and Jessica Arthur from STC, who offered valuable thoughts and insights. I also thank Robert Beech-Jones (my partner), Marty McGrath (Heather’s partner); and Karen O’Connell, Nicole Abadee, Rochelle Zurnamer, Hilary Bonney, Lisa Hunt and Sam Mostyn – my sisters ‘in law’ – who all encouraged the telling of this very female-focused law story.
DIRECTOR’S NOTE: PRISCILLA JACKMAN Following STC’s world premiere in 2022, the gift of sharing RBG: Of Many, One with Australian audiences nationally in 2024 (particularly with elections looming in the US once again), feels very timely, indeed. Suzie Miller famously wrote RBG: Of Many, One for the incomparable Heather Mitchell. From my initial read of the text, I was passionate that this production must position the virtuosity of Heather’s breathtaking performance front and centre. Not only is she required to convincingly take on the iconic Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 13 to 87 years of age inclusive, but also to inhabit every other role in the play. Adding to this, the complexities of the theatrical form requires a sophisticated dexterity and intricate collaboration from the creative team to weave the appearance of effortlessness; a seamless fluidity - navigating multiple times, spaces, locations - all the while supporting and holding space for Heather’s astounding transformational craft. I would like to acknowledge the innovative skill and dedicated belief in vision, of our creative team, vocal coach and production team. Structurally, RBG: Of Many, One is divided into three parts, each focusing on a distinct period of Ginsburg’s life. Part 1 deals with
the domestic sphere – Ruth’s childhood, adolescence and student days. Part 2 expands as we witness Ruth inhabiting elite environments, such as the Supreme Court, as well as the growth of her status and impact. By Part 3 she has literally exploded into the zeitgeist, operating actively in the global world – she is a celebrity, a cultural icon – the Notorious RBG. Ruth’s interactions with three presidents in each part, (Clinton, Obama and Trump), provides a meditation on leadership and gender. Through the lens of this one woman, we witness a counterpoint to the distinct models of masculine leadership each of the iconic presidential figures represent.
“We hope this production offers personal insight into the continued relevance of RBG’s wisdom” For me, the gift of working again in deep collaboration with Heather, Suzie and the team, has been both extraordinary and sacred. Perhaps my favorite aspect of Suzie’s script, is the parallel Ruth finds between her love of opera and using her voice in court. Opera was an almost a spiritual experience for Ruth – a detail woven lovingly throughout this production. While there is a plethora of information about RBG’s life available, we hope audiences (new and returning) walk away moved viscerally by the experience of RBG in this unique theatrical form. Furthermore, we hope this production offers personal insight into the continued relevance of RBG’s wisdom and provocation for our world. Through the work, we are reminded of the deeply progressive catalyst for steadfast change that RBG represents, and the need for vigilance in continuing her fight for justice, equality, understanding, compassion and human connection.
