A NIGHT IN WITH MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY
7PM AEDT 21ST OCTOBER
This exclusive event with the Academy Award-winning actor, philanthropist, professor, and self-proclaimed pickle expert to celebrate the publication of Greenlights. This is neither a traditional memoir, nor an advice book, but rather a playbook based on adventures in McConaughey’s life: an album and a record of what he has seen and learned along the way – ‘my sights and seens, felts and figured outs, cools and shamefuls.’
McConaughey will share anecdotes, lessons, and damn good yarns from his life: from growing up as an adventurous kid in a tough-love Texas home of rule breakers, to revelatory journeys to Australia, Peru, and Mali, to his early days in Hollywood and meteoric rise to fame.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend an evening with one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors, as he explores his guide to success and satisfaction through life’s lessons learned the hard way.
PETER FITZSIMONS interviewed by RICHARD GLOVER
7PM AEDT 30TH OCTOBER
Join Peter FitzSimons, Australia’s bestselling non-fiction writer as he investigates the iconic, infamous figure of Australian folklore in conversation with Richard Glover on the release of his new book Breaker Morant
Most Australians have heard of the Boer War and of Harry 'Breaker' Morant, a figure who rivals Ned Kelly as an archetypal Australian folk hero. But Morant was a complicated man.
Peter FitzSimons’ passion is to tell Australian stories, our own stories: of great men and women, of stirring events in our history. He has authored many highly acclaimed books including Ned Kelly, Gallipoli and Kokoda, and biographies of such notable Australians as Sir Douglas Mawson and Nick Farr-Jones. He grew up on a farm north of Sydney, went to boarding school in Sydney and attended Sydney University. An ex-Wallaby, he also lived for several years in rural France and Italy, playing rugby for regional clubs. He and his wife Lisa Wilkinson - journalist, magazine editor and television presenter - have three children; they live in Sydney.
A NIGHT IN WITH LADY GLENCONNER
ON DEMAND 13-14 NOVEMBER
Lady Glenconner has spent her life as a close friend of the royal family; she was Maid of Honour at the Queen’s Coronation and was subsequently appointed 'Lady in Waiting' to Princess Margaret. Her worldwide bestselling novel Lady In Waiting detailed her story, capturing a generation, a social class, and a first-hand view of royal life.
Now, Lady Glenconner brings her love of storytelling to life with her debut novel, Murder on Mustique. The gripping and endlessly entertaining story draws on Lady Glenconner's wealth of knowledge about the island, which she bought with her husband Lord Glenconner and transformed into a paradise for the rich and famous (including music royalty like Mick Jagger and David Bowie).
Join Lady Glenconner for a one-off online event, as she shares the inspirations for her gripping murder mystery and cast of entertaining characters, giving us a taste of the lifestyle, the physical beauty of the island and its history. With her characteristic warmth and wit, and riveting anecdotes, Lady Glenconner will be live in conversation for a perfect evening of escapism.
In 25 words or less, tell us who you’re most excited to see on the event list, and why?
