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, written and directed by Amber Grossmann, 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.
TICKETS are now available on Humanitix!
