Meet Debra Oswald, Author of ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF BETTY.
Meet Betty: storyteller, feminist, eternally curious and phenomenally old. On the eve of her hundredth birthday party, Betty tells us her story.
Set against a century of world events and social upheavals, Betty takes us to the frontlines of the anti-war protests and the women's liberation movement of the 1970s, to the AIDS crisis during the 1980s, to Mexico and eventually becomes a TV screenwriter. Even in her nineties, Betty is still passionately engaged with the world, still surprising us.
Debra Oswald is a playwright, screenwriter and novelist. She is a two-time winner of the NSW Premier's Literary Award and author of the novels such as Family Doctor (2021). She was creator/head writer of the first five seasons of the successful TV series Offspring.
She will be in conversation with Michaela Kalowski. Michaela is an interviewer, moderator & curator for writers/ideas festivals.
