## Resource

Sarah Griffiths returns to the stage after a decade for a powerful new play, Clarice, at Melbourne Theatre Company, portraying the overlooked Australian modern art icon Clarice Beckett. This deeply personal role, which Griffiths herself brought to the stage, celebrates Beckett’s defiantly authentic life and art—created in isolation, rediscovered decades later, and now gaining deserved recognition. The play challenges outdated notions of artistic legacy, spotlighting the resilience of women artists in the 1930s and the vital role of female advocacy in preserving art history. Amid a season bursting with bold Australian storytelling—including sci-fi, cricket politics, and Shakespeare reimagined—the company is doubling down on First Nations voices and collaborative innovation, proving theatre’s vital role in shaping a hopeful, inclusive future for storytelling.
