The Sydney Writers’ 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 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, is heterosexuality a cult? Featuring Dylin Hardcastle, Jess Hill, Benjamin Law, Maeve Marsden, Jess McGuire and Daniel Nour.
