Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s (QPAC) Cremorne will host MO Theatre’s production of the international hit PRAMKICKER by acclaimed English playwright Sadie Hasler: a vulnerable, potty-mouthed love-letter to the modern woman, from 1 to 4 July 2026.
PRAMKICKER is a two-hander, multiple-role juggernaut starring Sarah Ann McLeod and Sarah Ogden – ‘the brains’ behind Brisbane-based independent feminist theatre collective, MO Theatre.
When Jude (Sarah Ann McLeod) is arrested for kicking off in a café full of passive-aggressive "yummy mummies," she’s sent to Anger Management. Susie (Sarah Ogden), determined to make sure Jude’s next jumpsuit isn’t one with a serial number, tags along. But Susie’s not just there for moral support – she’s also got something to get off her chest.
In this no-holds-barred, G&T-fuelled D&M, the sisters dive into the mess of adulting, expectations of motherhood and a woman’s worth. It’s a middle finger to the labels we’re forced to wear, and a chance to figure out who the hell we are now we’re all grown up.
Led by an all-Brisbane team, PRAMKICKER is co-directed by beloved actress, Amy Ingram (How to Plot a Hit in 2 Days, Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Pride & Prejudice) and prolific dancer and choreographer Nerida Matthaei (Pride & Prejudice, The Great Gatsby). Ingram and Matthaei come through with a production that feels quintessentially Queensland: irreverent, sharp and full of heart.
Following productions of PRAMKICKER in London, Rome, Chicago and at Edinburgh Fringe, MO Theatre first premiered their version of PRAMKICKER in Brisbane in 2025 as part of Queensland Theatre Company’s season of independent theatre, DOOR 3. The season received widespread acclaim for its defiant, dazzling and unflinching open address of the complexities that women face.
One half of MO Theatre, Sarah Ogden shares how Sadie Hasler’s script spoke to MO Theatre’s modus operandi.
“We’ve got a lot of people talking about us, and this is a chance for us femme folk to take hold of the narrative”.
The other half of MO Theatre, Sarah Ann McLeod, echoed this sentiment.
“Sometimes it just feels like we’re containing all our rage and there's all these exterior voices who are telling us who and what we’re ‘supposed to’ be, all on top of our own internal pressure cookers. We need a release, and PRAMKICKER is definitely that release”.

QPAC’s Creative Learning Program is supporting the development of PRAMKICKER’s regional Queensland tour, prior to the QPAC season. QPAC is also supporting PRAMKICKER to host professional development workshops for schoolteachers in Brisbane on 30 May and Roma on 8 June.
