“Gare is a total powerhouse” ★★★★★ The Guardian 

Miles Franklin’s classic novel as you’ve never seen it before, with a live soundtrack that’s equal parts contemporary pop, folksy bush band and barnstorming pub rock.

Beloved by audiences and showered with five-star reviews, My Brilliant Career was Melbourne’s most in-demand ticket in 2024. “Brimming with abundant heart and soul” (Time Out), this uniquely Australian story has captivated a new generation and will have its Sydney premiere in 2026. 

The “outrageously talented” (Australian Stage) Kala Gare plays Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely intelligent and individual young woman in 1890s Australia who rallies against the idea that her ambition should start and end at finding a wealthy husband. Forced to choose between romance and her career, a family and a future that she defines, she decides she’s having it all.
