By Melanie Tait
Directed by Lee Lewis

The Cure That Took 300 Years

The answer was there all along. The world just refused to listen.

For centuries, women across cultures knew how to stop smallpox. But science, politics, and prejudice buried their knowledge for 300 years. Melanie Tait’s The Royal Experiment is a fast-paced, time-travelling comedy that unveils the absurdity of how medical breakthroughs are ignored, dismissed, or stolen.

With six actors playing 18 characters across multiple centuries, this NIDA-commissioned premiere blends biting satire with real history. Lee Lewis (Queensland Theatre, Griffin Theatre Company) directs this audacious new work, bringing an urgent and comedic lens to one of medicine’s most outrageous oversights.

The past ignored them. Now, it’s time to listen.
