  • An AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

    When Mary returns home after serving time in prison, she walks back into a household filled with hostility where her daughters are grappling with their past. Long-hidden truths emerge, exposing a history that has fractured and changed their lives. Each woman must confront not only what they have been through, but what they’ve done to survive.

    Dixon and Daughters is a vital and timely work. Balancing heartbreak with moments of surprising humour, this is a story about the courage it takes to confront pain, the complexity of forgiveness and the possibility of breaking generational cycles. Fierce, moving and unflinchingly honest, Dixon and Daughters is a tribute to the strength of women and the messy, painful path of healing.

    Note: ticketing for Mainstage productions at the Old Fitz Theatre operate on a Dynamic Pricing model. This system means prices increase in line with audience demand (determined by capacity targets), and ensures we are able to provide cheaper tickets for a period whilst also making sure artists - who are often contracted on a profit share basis - get paid. In the interest of full transparency, the structure of the model can be viewed in full on our Welcome page. Concession tickets will never exceed $66, and previews and Cheap Tuesday’s will not scale.
