Gale Edwards: The Girl from Oz

40th Anniversary Exhibition

Presented by Adelaide Festival Centre's Performing Arts Collection

A 'snapshot' of the brilliant career of this acclaimed Australian theatre director.

In 1974 Gale Edwards graduated from Flinders University Drama Centre. Since then her career has spanned all genres on stage and screen. A respected director both in Australia and overseas, with a roll-call from the Boy from Oz to Sweeney Todd, this photographic exhibition honours her many achievements and contribution to the performing arts.


The Performing Arts Collection (founded in 1979) is home to many prestigious and unique collections that embody over 200 years of South Australian performing arts history. It represents the contributions South Australians have made to the performing arts industry, both on stage and behind-the-scenes.
