This production is also on tour, including Queensland Theatre\u2019s Bille Brown Theatre. The co-production with Melbourne Theatre Company is set in the infamous era of Adam Goodes\u2019 war-cry and named after his immortalised jersey number \u2014 37 \u2014 telling a motivating story of an iconic Australian footy feat.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_152075\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-152075\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-152075\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/QT-Cost-Living.jpg?resize=560%2C353&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/QT-Cost-Living.jpg?w=560&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/QT-Cost-Living.jpg?resize=300%2C189&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-152075\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cost of Living<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>May will take audiences back to a 2,400-year-old tale of passion and revenge with Medea, the Greek tragedy \u2014 with a modern twist \u2014 by Kate Mulvany and Anne-Louise Sarks.
