The power of women

Those looking for a night of entertainment that encapsulates the power of women to outlast, outwit, and out-muscle sexism, look no further.

Written by Emmy nominee Victoria Midwinter Pitt, I’m With Her was built out of conversations with eight very different women between 2019 and 2022, who shared their experiences.

A bartender in her 20s, a botanist in her 90s, a sex worker, a nun, a counter-terrorism expert, an anthropologist, a world champion surfer, and a prime minister being among them.

Throughout the performance, you will see the confidence of women who are not content with the status quo and challenge it unabashedly.

None of the characters cops the cards they are dealt without in some way, opposing it.

While each of the eight stories are uniquely personal, they are said to contain profoundly universal themes and can be utilised by all women in their lives.

Performance contains mature themes, including sexism, harassment, and sexual assault. Please note that this performance may contain smoke, haze, and strobe lighting.

For these reasons, the show is most suitable for audiences aged 14 years and older.

Parental guidance is advised for younger audiences.

I’m With Her will show twice at the Wyndham Cultural Centre in Werribee.

Night one runs 7.30-9.30pm on Friday 27 February and night two runs 7.30-9.30pm on Saturday 28 February.

Tickets cost $25.
