O, Ophelia by Amber Grossmann @ Studio 188

THAT Production Company, mIxED Productions and Studio 188 in association with JUTE Theatre Company and Overall Arts presents…

What happens when a small-town girl meets a big secret?

At sixteen, Ophelia dreams of freedom, but life in Far North Queensland feels like a dead end—until Hamish.

He’s older, clever, and thrillingly rebellious, promising a way out of her overbearing brother’s shadow. But is his world all it seems?

O, Ophelia is a visually striking and emotionally resonant tale with a nod to the Shakespearean namesake that will captivate and surprise, taking audiences on a journey of self-discovery, courage, and the power of reclaiming one’s story.

Written and directed by Amber Grossmann, the founder of emerging youth theatre company Overall Arts, O, Ophelia has been developed from ‘the seed of an idea’ into a full-scale touring production thanks to support and a unique partnership with JUTE Theatre Company.
