Debra Oswald in conversation
from Outspoken Maleny Hosted by Steven Lang
Our featured author tonight is Debra Oswald. Debra came to prominence, or maybe the right word is fame, with the production of the immensely popular television series Offspring in 2010, for which she was the Creator and Lead Writer. But Debra had already been immersed in theatre and television for many many years before that - we might come to that in a minute - writing several successful plays and episodes for other series. Since then she has shifted her attention to the writing of novels, the one we are talking about tonight, the excellent One Hundred Years of Betty, being her fourth. Previous works include Useful, The Whole Bright Year and The Family Doctor. She has also performed her own One-woman show, Is there something wrong with that woman? Debra has received numerous awards, including two NSW Premier’s Literary Awards, a Qld Premier’s Literary Award and an AACTA Award for the screenplay of episondes in Offspring. She's talking tonight with Steven Lang about her new novel, 100 Years of Betty
