SUMMARY:Evening Book Group - "The Lost Man" by Jane Harper
DESCRIPTION:At our first meeting of 2019 we will be reviewing “The Lost Man” by Australian author\, Jane Harper.  All are welcome. See ‘About the book’ below. \nDATE: Monday 4 February 2019 \nTIME: 5.45 pm – 8.30 pm (book discussion to commence around 6.30 pm) \nVENUE: Cafe 1812\, a cafe and wine bar inside Berkelouw Books\, 19 Oxford Street\, Paddington\, NSW 2021. See ‘About the venue’ below. \nCOST: Pay for your own drinks/ food \nRSVP TO: Caroline Frangopoulos at cmfrangopoulos@gmail.com or mobile 0420 395996 \nRSVP BY: 1 February 2019 \nTRANSPORT:\nBy Train: 19 Oxford Street\, Paddington is a 10-15 minute walk from Museum Station up Oxford Street\, located on the city side of the Victoria Barracks. Beware as Oxford St renumbers in each suburb\, so walk past 19 Oxford St\, Darlinghurst! \nBy Bus: From the city you can take the following bus routes which all stop opposite the store: 333\, 380\, 440\, or the Metrobus M40. \nBy Car: Parking\nSt Vincent’s Hospital Public Car Park\, Victoria St. Flat rate AUD 11 after 4.00pm \nAbout the book: \n“The man lay still in the centre of a dusty grave under a monstrous sky. \nTwo brothers meet at the border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of outback Queensland. \nThey are at the stockman’s grave\, a landmark so old\, no -one can remember who is buried there. But today\, the scant shadow it casts was the last chance for their middle brother\, Cameron. \nThe Bright family’s quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish. Something had been troubling Cameron. Did he lose hope and walk to his death? Because if he didn’t\, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects. \nFor readers who loved “The Dry” and “Force of Nature”\, Jane Harper has once again created a powerful story of suspense\, set against a dazzling landscape.” \nAbout the venue: \nSomething for all us book lovers I hope. Aside from abundant inspiration for our book list it has a lovely wine bar and cafe on the first floor which is where we will meet.  There is reasonably priced parking nearby as well as plenty of buses that stop just outside. \nMore at:  http://berkelouw.com.au/stores/paddington \nBooks for upcoming meetings: \nMonday 4 March 2019 – “Shell” by Kristina Olsson (Historical fiction) \nMonday 1 April 2019 – “Transcription” by Kate Atkinson (Spy novel)

SUMMARY:Art & Culture - Brett Whiteley: drawing is everything
DESCRIPTION:This February the Art Gallery of New South Wales presents Brett Whiteley: drawing is everything\, the first major museum exhibition to focus on the central place of drawing in Whiteley’s work. Key paintings and sculptures are also showcased\, underpinning the importance of drawing to Whiteley’s broader artistic practice. The drawings in this exhibition have rarely been seen. They range from Whiteley’s early images of Sydney and Europe and his great abstracts that brought him international fame in the 1960s\, to the lyrical landscapes\, portraits\, interiors and nudes that established him as one of the most prominent and well-loved Australian artists of the 20th century. \nArt Gallery of NSW director\, Dr Michael Brand\, has said “The exhibition celebrates Whiteley’s creative energy and masterful command of the drawn line. Drawing lay at the heart of Brett Whiteley’s artistic endeavours; whether the final expression was a work on paper\, a painting\, a sculpture or printmaking\, the seed was drawing.” \nJoin SWIC on a private guided tour of the exhibition. \nDATE: Tuesday 19 February 2019 \nTIME: Meet outside the main entrance of the Art Gallery no later than 9.20 am for a 9.30 am tour \nVENUE: Art Gallery of NSW\, Art Gallery Road\, The Domain\, Sydney NSW 2000 \nThe NSW Art Gallery is located  the eastern side of Sydney’s CBD\, next to the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Domain\, just down the road from St Mary’s Cathedral. \nCOST:   Adult $25.00 or $20 for NSW Seniors Card Holders \nPAYMENT OPTIONS:  Payable on the day.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group - "Mary Stuart"
DESCRIPTION:For the first two productions of the year we (Judith and Liz) have something of a theme going on.  We saw Kate Mulvany as Richard III a couple of years ago and her performance was so impressive we decided to ‘follow’ her. \nSo our first offering is her gripping adaptation of Schiller’s Mary Stuart for the Sydney Theatre Company. An empire is at stake and a queen’s life hangs in the balance. This is one of history’s great rivalries. Two powerful women of very different natures – Mary\, Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I of England – cousins but not friends. The play stars two of Australia’s best known actors\, Caroline Brazier (Dinner\, Rake) as Mary\, and Helen Thomson (The Harp in the South) as Elizabeth. \nDATE: Wednesday 20 February 2019 \nTIME: 7.30pm – 9.10pm (no interval) \nVENUE: Roslyn Packer Theatre\, 22 Hickson Road\, Walsh Bay NSW 2000 \nTICKETS: We have purchased our A Reserve tickets for $93 each with senior concession. To buy your tickets visit www.sydneytheatrecompany.com. The Box Office tells us they are selling fast. You snooze\, you lose! \nPRE-THEATRE DINNER: There will also be the option to join us for a pre-theatre dinner at Walsh Bay Kitchen\, which adjoins the theatre\, at 6.00pm. We will book the table when we know the numbers. \nRSVP TO: Judith Nguyen at nguyenjm@bigpond.net.au by 15 February 2019 \n \n************************************************* \nTHEATRE GROUP IN MARCH – Every Brilliant Thing \nIn March you can see Kate Mulvany\, the actor\, in a one woman play called Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe. \n“One of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression – and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see\, full stop”. The Guardian. \nThis performance is at the Belvoir Upstairs Theatre\, 18-25 Belvoir Street\, Surry Hills. \nWe are buying tickets for Tuesday 26 March 2019. The performance begins 6.30pm. Single tickets for this production (i.e. assuming you have not purchased a package as a Belvoir subscriber) go on sale from 29 January 2019. As this performance is in the round there are not really any ‘bad’ places to sit. Put it in your diary as we will not be sending a reminder about ticket sales.

ON THE BASIS OF SEX-M: Drama (2hrs) \n \nThe inspiring true story of a young Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Felicity Jones)\, a passionate and dedicated lawyer who brings a case before the US Supreme Court in 1975 that could change women’s lives for the better. Her claim: that the law discriminates on the basis of gender and this ground-breaking case before the U.S. Court of Appeals could overturn a century of gender discrimination. \nAt the heart of Ruth’s journey is a moving romance with her husband Marty (Armie Hammer) and a poignant relationship with her daughter\, who embodies a new generation of women following in Ruth’s footsteps. As Ruth struggles to be heard\, even hired\, in a profession dominated by men\, Marty becomes her greatest ally in a partnership built on love and equality. \nRuth Bader Ginsburg was later appointed Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court\, a position she holds to this day. The feature premiered in 2018 in line with Justice Ginsburg’s 25th anniversary on the Supreme Court. \nSee where her story began in this stirring\, heartfelt drama. \nCast: Felicity Jones\, Armie Hammer\, Justin Theroux\, Jack Reynor \nDirector: Mimi Leder \nRelease date: 07 February 2019 \n9.45am: 2.

This is not a forensic biography\, but rather scenes based on Vincent van Gogh’s (Academy Award® Nominee Willem Dafoe) letters\, common agreement about events in his life that present as facts\, hearsay\, and moments that are just plain invented. \nCast: Willem Dafoe\, Rupert Friend\, Oscar Isaac\, Mads Mikkelsen \nDirector: Julian Schnabel \nRelease date: 14 February 2019 \n9.50am: 3. STAN & OLLIE-PG (1hr 37m) AD\, CC \n \nStarring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as legendary comedy duo Laurel & Hardy\, Stan & Ollie is the heartwarming story of what would become the pair’s triumphant farewell tour. \nWith their golden era long behind them\, Stan and Ollie embark on a variety hall tour of Britain and Ireland in 1953. Between personal grievances and dwindling audiences\, they face an uncertain future. While the charm of their double-act wins back legions of adoring fans\, the duo must pull out all the stops to save their precious decades-long friendship before the final curtain falls. \nFrom acclaimed screenwriter Jeff Pope (Philomena)\, Stan & Ollie celebrates a unique friendship and legendary working partnership with humour and warmth. Coogan and Reilly deliver performances of nuanced\, comic genius – the perfect pair to pay homage to the original kings of comedy. \nCast: Steve Coogan\, John C. Reilly\, Nina Arianda\, Shirley Henderson \nDirector: Jon S. Baird \nRelease date: 21 February 2019 \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Evening Book Group - "Shell" at Café 1812
DESCRIPTION:This month we will be reviewing “Shell” by Kristina Olsson\, set in 1965 against the backdrop of the construction of the Sydney Opera house.  All are welcome. \nDATE: Monday 4 March 2019 \nTIME: 5.45pm – 8.30pm (book discussion to commence around 6.30pm) \nVENUE: Cafe 1812\, a cafe and wine bar inside Berkelouw Books\, 19 Oxford Street\, Paddington\, NSW 2021. See ‘About the venue’ below. \nCOST: Pay for your own drinks/ food \nRSVP TO: Caroline Frangopoulos at cmfrangopoulos@gmail.com or mobile 0420 395996 \nRSVP BY: 1 March 2019 \nTRANSPORT:\nBy Train: 19 Oxford Street\, Paddington is a 10-15 minute walk from Museum Station up Oxford Street\, located on the city side of the Victoria Barracks. Beware as Oxford St renumbers in each suburb\, so walk past 19 Oxford St\, Darlinghurst! \nBy Bus: From the city you can take the following bus routes which all stop opposite the store: 333\, 380\, 440\, or the Metrobus M40. \nBy Car: Parking\nSt Vincent’s Hospital Public Car Park\, Victoria St. Flat rate AUD 11 after 4.00pm \nAbout the book: \n“A big\, bold and hauntingly beautiful story that captures a defining moment in Australia’s history. \nEverywhere he looked he saw what Utzon saw. The drama of harbour and horizon\, and at night\, the star-clotted sky. It held the shape of the possible\, of a promise made and waiting to be kept … \nIn 1965 as Danish architect Jørn Utzon’s striking vision for the Sydney Opera House transforms the skyline and unleashes a storm of controversy\, the shadow of the Vietnam War and a deadly lottery threaten to tear the country apart. \nJournalist Pearl Keogh\, exiled to the women’s pages after being photographed at an anti-war protest\, is desperate to find her two missing brothers and save them from the draft. Axel Lindquist\, a visionary young glass artist from Sweden\, is obsessed with creating a unique work that will do justice to Utzon’s towering masterpiece.” \nAbout the venue: \n \nAside from abundant inspiration for our book list\, Café 1812 has a lovely wine bar and cafe on the first floor which is where we will meet.  There is reasonably priced parking nearby as well as plenty of buses that stop just outside. \nMore at:  http://berkelouw.com.au/stores/paddington \nBooks for upcoming meetings: \nMonday 1 April 2019 – “Transcription” by Kate Atkinson (Spy novel) \nWe are taking nominations and will vote next week for our April – June reading list.  If you cannot attend and would like to nominate a book / vote\, please send me an email.
