Women/People of Letters

Caught this fantastic show yesterday evening at the Adelaide Fringe Festival. There were ten readings from Australian celebrities, although none of them would enjoy the term apparently, and I believe that to be genuine. Some were touching, some were blokey, some very intellectual, others low brow. Topics included family, celebrity, politics, love, death and vegetarianism.
     Every single one was meaningful.
     It was an entertaining and inspirational evening listening to letters, some more heartfelt than others, written to somebody else.
     The highlight was the exchange between Peter Goldsworthy on his daughter's vegetarianism and his daughter Anna calling him on his lapsed vegetarianism.
     So, once again, the bug to write letters invades and replicates within me.
     Join me if you wish. Let me know.
