Is That You, Ruthie?

Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) in association with Oombarra Productions will proudly present the return season of the must-see play Is That You, Ruthie?, adapted for the stage by Leah Purcell, in the Cremorne Theatre from 6 to 15 March 2025.

Following its acclaimed world premiere at QPAC in 2023, the powerful play based on Dr Ruth Hegarty’s books – the award winning Is That You, Ruthie? and Buthalangi: A Maranoa Woman – returns to share a personal and profound chapter of Australia’s truth-telling history.

Written and directed by Purcell – renowned First Nations stage and film actress, novelist, playwright and director – Is That You, Ruthie? is a story of resilience, courage and the enduring human spirit.
