Closing Night: Girls’ Night In
Jean Kittson, Bridie Jabour, Lizzy Hoo and Chris Ryan
Girls’ Night In closes the 2020 Canberra Writers Festival with four talented women sharing observations on the whimsy of life – and the meagre role of men. These dames will chew the fat on literature, fine art, music and aged cognac. Kick off your heels (boys too) and celebrate a one-of-a-kind writers’ festival.
Presented by ANU @ the Canberra Theatre Centre
