O, Ophelia is presented by UniSQ School of Creative Arts in association with JUTE Theatre Company and Overall Arts.

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. Starring a professional cast alongside chorus members from the UniSQ Acting Program.

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.
