Bryan Brown in Ballarat

 

What a pleasure it was to meet actor/author Bryan Brown yesterday evening following his scintillating talk (in conversation with Renee Price of Collins Booksellers), at glorious Palace Regent Cinema, Ballarat.


I’ve admired Bryan Brown’s work as an actor ever since I first saw him in Breaker Morant (1980, Dir. Bruce Beresford). Writing is a relatively new string to his bow. 

He’s a natural born storyteller. Based on the moving, sometimes hilarious, personal anecdotes he shared with a large, captivated audience, some fascinating insights into his writing process, and a brief, but tantalising reading from his latest novel, Hidden, Shane Jones and I can’t wait to read his books and will treasure our signed copies.
