‘Even today, the cost continues’: Christie Whelan Browne on speaking out

from Good Weekend Talks · host The Age and Sydney Morning Herald

You might know her best from Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell, but over the past 20 years, Christie Whelan Browne has become one of the most in-demand stars of the Australian stage, appearing in Britney Spears: The Cabaret, The Producers, Shane Warne: The Musical and Muriel's Wedding. But the thing that has kept her in the headlines is no laughing matter – the allegations of sexual harassment she made against her Rocky Horror Show co-star Craig McLachlan in late 2017. Today, Whelan Browne takes a break from rehearsing a musical version of All About Eve to chat about everything from our shifting attitudes to Britney Spears, the joy of an IVF baby and the stress of living through three very public court cases over six years. Today's episode is hosted by senior culture writer, Karl Quinn.   Further reading Karl Quinn's story 'Even today, the cost continues.' See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
