RBG: Of Many, One is an acclaimed production of Sydney Theatre Company and presented in Auckland by Auckland Theatre Company and Auckland Live. Heather Mitchell of Australia performs the titular role, demonstrating her remarkable talent, bringing life to playwright Susie Miller’s vision of Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s story. 

 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg— a trailblazer in the American judiciary and a fierce advocate for gender equality and reproductive rights. A tireless and resolute champion of life through five bouts with cancer. A beloved wife and mother of two; later, a grandmother and a cultural icon. 

 

This play places you directly in the room with this extraordinary figure at the most pivotal moments of her life, vividly capturing the many facets she was known for across the different phases of her life. Heather Mitchell handles the shifts across the different periods of RBG’s life convincingly and expertly.

 

A one-woman show with no-frills staging, it stands solely on a convincing, powerful performance and compelling storytelling through well-paced and humorous dialogue. It delivers a fully engaging 100-minute experience that holds your attention throughout. 

 

A moving and intimate tribute to an extraordinary life, this production is both inspiring and quietly powerful—absolutely worth a night out to get to know RBG on a deeper level and feel the strength of her lifelong devotion to the legal system and the impact she made.
