Andrew Bovell is one of Australia's most esteemed playwrights. His recent play Things I Know to Be True has been staged around the world, but in many ways its spiritual home is Western Australia where Andrew grew up. It was the place he was drawn back to when writing the script.Also, playwright Joanna Murray-Smith shares the works of art that have most inspired her creative journey on Top Shelf and we hear a scene from Underneath Ms Archer, a two-hander written and performed by two stalwarts of the Australian stage and screen: Louise Siversen and Peter Houghton.

Andrew Bovell comes home

Playwright and screenwriter Andrew Bovell delivered a remarkably honest and insightful lecture that touched on the purpose of his filmmaking and what he learned writing in Hollywood.For Bovell, it’s the universal nature of film that makes screenwriting both appealing and difficult; there’s a never-ending question of a writer's responsibility and the purpose of cinema: “Do we aim to give expression to the themes of the day, or should we just tell a damn good story?”
