'Julia' at Circa Theatre is earning rave reviews, star Lara Macgregor graces the studio this morning to chat with Nick Mills.

Julia centres around former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, diving into her life and legacy leading up to her landmark 2012 "misogyny speech". The play examines gender, power and the pressures of political leadership through Julia's lens. 

Lara talks about her research and experience stepping into the shoes of Julia, but also the sexism she has experienced herself in the theatre world. 

Lara says, "Women deserve a better standard than this."

Nick and Lara discuss if pressure eased for women in politics or is it still just as brutal now as it was for Julia Gillard?

Check out the hit play 'Julia' on at Circa Theatre till Saturday 27th June. Buy tickets at circa.co.nz.
