Ambition, Power and Storytelling Without a Pen

Succession’s Brian Cox joins us before appearing at the festival to discuss his career built on getting under the skin of tyranny, and we’ll find out what it’s like to portray the colourful character of media mogul Logan Roy. Kiwi singer-songwriter Marlon Williams is back on the road after two years’ lockdown in New Zealand – and has emerged with a new album that embraces his Māori heritage and plans for a Māori-language record. Soprano, composer and educator Deborah Cheetham has been instrumental in amplifying the voices of Indigenous artists and is First Nations Chair at the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. The power of storytelling is evident in the work of photojournalist Andrew Quilty, who’s spent more than a decade documenting the war in Afghanistan. And former ADF officer Catherine McGregor has held positions of power in military and civilian life – and now champions veterans’ rights.
