Service stories

Inspired by diaries, letters and post-war writings, The Girls in Grey tells the stories of Australian Army nurses through the eyes of Elsie, Grace and Alice when they leave the shores of their homeland in 1914.

From the splendour of sunsets over the Sphinx in Egypt, to the barren shores of the Greek island of Lemnos and the muddy sludge of the Western Front, they witness the tragedy of war fought on a scale never before seen and the devastating consequences for the young men involved at the front line of the conflict.

Brought to the stage by some of Melbourne's finest performers and acclaimed by historians as deeply authentic and moving, The Girls In Grey reaches across the generations, uniting young and old in a fusion of contemporary theatre and history."
