Rebecca Gibney will return to the theatre for the first time since 2006 as part of Sydney Theatre Company's 2025 season. Kiwi actor and mainstay of Australian TV Rebecca Gibney will soon return to the stage for the first time in almost 20 years., is set to lead Sydney Theatre Company's 2025 production of Circle Mirror Transformation, a 2009 play by Pulitzer Prize-winning American Annie Baker.
In Circle Mirror Transformation, Gibney will play Marty, a drama teacher working at a community centre. Her students include her husband James; recently divorced carpenter Schultz; shy high schooler Lauren; and ex-actor Theresa. "Marty is the heartbeat of the play, so you need somebody who has the dramatic chops to drive the drama, but also has the heart and comedic dexterity to land the warmth and the humour."
Gibney was last on stage in 2006, in the Melbourne season of sketch show Mum's the Word 2: Teenagers. "I don't like being in enclosed spaces, and I don't like expectations . On a set, you can do it again if you stuff it up," she says. Gibney plans to approach the role of Marty with the same sense of vulnerability she brings to all of her work.
