CULTURE GUIDE: BELVOIR ST THEATRE'S 'BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY'

Watch our interview with Dalara Williams, Megan Wilding and Stephanie Somerville.

Belvoir St Theatre is currently the home of Big Girls Don't Cry, from writer Dalara Williams. We sat down with Williams and fellow cast members Megan Wilding and Stephanie Somerville to chat about the production.

A sharp and celebratory new play from Gumbaynggirr/Wiradjuri woman Dalara Williams, that pays respect to a generation that led the way, and to Black women who won’t take a backward step. Featuring Williams, Wilding, Somerville, Bryn Chapman-Parish, Matthew Cooper, Nic English and Guy Simon.

Redfern 1966. Cheryl, Lulu and Queenie are young and life is glorious, full of hilarity and joy, even if jobs are precarious, the police harass them, and racism seeps into everything. But as they gear up for the biggest night of the year – the Deb Ball – their lives, Redfern, the country are all about to change.

Big Girls Don't Cry is playing now at Belvoir St Theatre till June 16. Tickets are on sale now.
