About this Event
Join us at Narooma Library for a front-row seat to some of the most anticipated talks and panels from this year’s Sydney Writers’ Festival, streamed FREE from the Sydney Writers Festival thanks to the State Library NSW.
Hear from acclaimed authors, powerful storytellers, and fresh voices — all without leaving town.
Mardi Gras Debate: Heterosexuality is a cult
The festival’s signature rollicking debate takes to the State Library of NSW stage for a special Mardi Gras edition with everyone’s favourite adjudicator, Yumi Stynes.
Charting the rise of ‘boy meets girl’ as the societal status quo and interrogating what it promises, six of our best and brightest will argue whether heterosexuality puts the ‘cult’ in cultural norm.
Two teams of our wittiest and most persuasive battle it out in the ultimate contest to determine, once and for all, whether heterosexuality is a cult. Featuring Dylin Hardcastle, Jess Hill, Benjamin Law, Maeve Marsden, Jess McGuire and Daniel Nour.
