More InfoAlmost at the halfway point of 2013 ALREADY and there is much to celebrate – for lo, in May doth co-curator and She Of The Hosting Duties MICHAELA MCGUIRE return from her overseas jaunt and the Lord saw this and saw that it was good. That’s right, Women of Letters will be returning IN FULL FORCE to the magnificent surrounds of the REGAL BALLROOM, where we will once again celebrate the lost art of correspondence with friends, new and old. On Sunday, May 26th, WoL will present together for the first time ever on stage: actor and Playschool goddess JUSTINE CLARKE, star of Dogs In Space and Proof SASKIA POST, doyenne of song KATE CEBERANO, Melbourne’s own Poet Laureate TELIA NEVILE, and writer, illustrator and actor KATE MCCARTNEY. These fine females will each be penning ‘A Letter To The Person Who Taught Me What I Needed To Know’. There'll be the usual wine/aerogramme-penning combo we’ve grown to love and a special DJ set by the offensively beautiful DJ GARY BARTON. Join us for a most pleasant afternoon celebrating a diverse range of strong female talent whilst simultaneously raising funds for animal rescue shelter, Edgar's Mission ( http://www.edgarsmission.org.au/).
