Being talked about …
Oscar Wilde once commented that the only thing worse than being talked about, was NOT being talked about.
Susannah tells the story of Wilde’s remarkable and ultimately tragic life, with dramatic readings from some of his works, and Adrian will take you into the intriguing world of ‘gossipy jewels’ – fabulous pieces of jewellery that have been much talked about. Uncover fascinating tales, hear compelling stories and expose the secrets of a bygone era.
Enjoy a delightful drink and snack on us, while you reflect, connect and discuss these influential icons of a past era.

Andrian and I love giving live talks and we hope you’ll join us for these two compelling live events. Woollahra Library is easy to get to, it isn’t far from the centre of Sydney with good transport and parking. But it’s not a large venue, so book now to make sure you don’t miss out.
