Write around the Murray festival
From page to performance
Sunday 27 July to Sunday 3 August 2008
Welcome to the Write around the Murray festival for 2008.
With the theme of “From page to performance”, the written word will be brought to life through workshops and presentations featuring authors, scriptwriters, songwriters, poets, a chef and an event with a difference, the literary pub crawl! Join David Stratton as he talks on his memoir, I Peed on Fellini, which shares the intimate details that have formed and contributed to his stellar career. There’s lunch with Paula Constant who along with her husband, undertook an epic 5000-kilometre walk from London to the threshold of the Sahara desert. Join playwright Hannie Rayson, best known for her plays Hotel Sorrento and Life After George, at the festival literary dinner. Jacqueline Pascarl, author of Once I was a Princess and Since I was a Princess closes the festival on Sunday 3 August.
We’ve gathered the best from our region and Australia including Cate Kennedy, Campion Decent, Libby Gleeson, Felice Arena, Nathan Curnow, Jane Downing, Simon Higgins, Michael Pryor, Rochelle Jackson, Richard Evans, John Charalambous and Carole McCulloch to make presentations and lead workshops during the eight days of the festival – 27 July to 3 August 2008.
Read through the program (see attachment below), be inspired and book online or on the contact numbers for each of the events and workshops.
The festival also includes a program for primary and secondary schools where students will have the opportunity to hear and learn from many of our great presenters. Information and booking details will be sent to schools.
Set aside Sunday, 27 July to Sunday, 3 August to feast on eight great days of festival activities!  WAM_program_FINAL.pdf (747 KB)
