Presented by Brisbane Festival and Queensland Theatre, written by Belloo’s Katherine Lyall-Watson and directed by Caroline Dunphy, Back to Bilo is a powerful piece of theatre with connection, care and community at its core. After Priya and Nades are introduced, they marry, then welcome two daughters, Kopika and Tharnicaa, both born in Biloela, or Bilo as it is affectionately known. A key group of Bilo locals and ex-locals emerge on the stage alongside Priya and Nades—Bronwyn (Liz Buchanan), Simone (Sarah McIntosh) and Angela (Erika Naddei). Back to Bilo: more than a celebrationThankfully, Back to Bilo doesn’t shy away from other realities of the story. Back to Bilo is at Queensland Theatre as part of Brisbane Festival until 16 September 2025.
