Actors in Sydney Theatre Company’s Broadway production donned pink pussy hats at Saturday’s curtain calls.

Unable to join the Women’s March in New York on Saturday because they had two performances, the cast of Sydney Theatre Company’s production of The Present showed their support at the curtain call.

Hundreds of thousands turned out for the Women’s March in cities around the US (and across the world) –  outnumbering those who gathered for Trump’s inauguration in Washington. In a sign of solidarity, the Australian cast, including Cate Blachett and Richard Roxburgh, returned to the stage for their second curtain call at both performances wearing pink pussy hats.

Actor Toby Schmitz tweeted: “Cast wore pussy hats for the curtain. Audience roar was so instant, so defiant and joyful that I’m pitching it as a permanent thing.”
