The icebergs are melting. The animals are dying. The planet is buckling under the weight of our neglect, our greed. We dream of a sustainable future but could we dream ourselves into one? In Hibernation, one simple idea is turned into a global movement: what if we could somehow turn back the clock? What if everyone on earth went to sleep for a year and let nature take back control? This startling premise sets the stage for Finegan Kruckemeyer''s bold and brilliant adventure through an imagined future that feels barely a heartbeat away from the present. A globally sanctioned shutdown-in an idea conceived long before the pandemic-sees citizens of every nation fill their lungs with chemically altered air ... and wait. What happens next is moving, terrifying and totally transformative. This epic and intimate portrayal of the personal impact of environmental crisis is at its core a story of lives lived, loved and squandered, of good acts and bad, and of redemption. We''ve made our beds. Now we must sleep in them.

In the era of #MeToo and #Time''s Up, millions of women are sharing their stories of abuse and discrimination. But inside all our stories there''s a part we don''t always tell-a seed of heroic resistance. I''m With Her was written by Walkley Award winner Victoria Midwinter Pitt from frank and intimate conversations with eight extraordinary women: counter-terrorism expert Anne Aly MP, sex worker activist Julie Bates, botanist Marion Blackwell, world champion surfer Pam Burridge, bartender Nikki Keating, Catholic nun Patricia Madigan, anthropologist and indigenous leader Marcia Langton and Australia''s first female prime minister, Julia Gillard. Together, they light up the golden thread that runs right through the patriarchy, and may yet be its undoing: the strengths women use to keep turning up to our own lives. It is a thrilling real-life demonstration, by the ultimate girl gang, of the power of women to outlast, outwit and out-muscle the great ugly beast of sexism. ''This play burns with the generational energy of its characters, young and old. It reminds us-all women-of how much power we have in being ourselves.''-June Oscar AO, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Social Justice Commissioner ''A brave and beautiful show. As a piece of resistance, it''s bloody brilliant.''-Sydney Morning Herald ''Darkly funny''-On The Town ''A firestorm. A cultural milestone for Australian feminism''-Audrey Journal ''Connecting past to present, dreams to reality, and women to each other, Victoria Midwinter Pitt''s stunning script paints life itself as a radical act of resistance.''
