Emerging writers: Kate Mulvany

Earlier this year the Emerging Writers' Festival promoted itself by saying it presents the best Australian writers you haven't heard of...yet. One of the writers at the festival was actor and playwright Kate Mulvany. She won the 2004 Philip Parsons Young Playwright's Award and her most recent play is called The Seed. This play began as a novel 10 years ago but became a play, she talks about this process and how it ended up on the stage.


Guests
