A riotous and engaging showcase jump-started three days of public programming.
Eight writers each deliver a seven-minute true story, propless and scriptless, inspired by the theme Straight Talking.and they were all fabulous in their individual ways.
: NZ comedian and author Michele A’Court; lauded US novelist and short story writer Amy Bloom; The Good Wife star and memoirist Alan Cumming; former Wallaby, sports columnist and author Peter FitzSimons; Australian public intellectual and writer Helen Garner; Waitangi Tribunal member, lecturer and co-author of seminal book Tangata Whenua: An Illustrated History Aroha Harris; Melbourne-based New Zealand short story writer Nic Low; and Booker Prize winning Nigerian novelist Ben Okri.
A stunning start to what promises to be a wonderful weekend.
