About Stella - A New Australian Musical
Literary icon Stella Miles Franklin’s extraordinary life story has until now been overshadowed by attention on her debut novel My Brilliant Career and the literary awards that carry her name — the Miles Franklin Award and The Stella Prize.
This world premiere production of STELLA – A New Australian Musical now brings Franklin’s untold story of an 1890’s bush girl from the Snowy Mountains who sacrifices family, security and belonging in relentless pursuit of a creative life – and her stunning contribution to Australian cultural life.
