Bill Bryson Tours Australia in 2014 with 'MANY A TRUE WORD' Beg. Today
It was announced today by Lateral Events that Bill Bryson, one of the world's most accomplished and loved authors will travel to Australia to appear in a live show entitled Bill Bryson - Many a True Word, an Illuminating Interview.
For the first time live on stage, author Bill Bryson will take us on a captivating journey through his life, books, travel, history and science, in conversation with Ray Martin.
Gain insight into the man behind the myriad of books as he shares previously untold stories and gives us a unique perspective into being one of the world's most admired and successful authors.
Bill Bryson has a charm, wit, ruminative insight and modesty that will have audiences hanging on his every softly spoken word. Like the great thinkers Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo or Galileo, Bryson is a Renaissance man, whose expertise traverses many topics and diverse subjects.
His bestselling travel books include Down Under, The Lost Continent, A Walk in the Woods and Notes from a Small Island. His acclaimed book on the history of science, A Short History of Nearly Everything, won the Royal Society's Aventis Prize as well as the Descartes Prize, the European Union's highest literary award. He has also written books on language, Shakespeare and his own childhood in the hilarious memoir The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid.
Bryson's most recent critically lauded book, One Summer: America 1927, chronicles a forgotten summer when America came of age and changed the world forever.
"I can't wait to come back to Australia," Bryson said. "It is always a pleasure to be there."
Event Producer Simon Baggs said "Bill Bryson - Many a True Word extends Lateral Events' 'Intellectual Entertainment' series of events which have included live shows with Heston Blumenthal, Sir David Attenborough, Professor Brian Cox and Neil Oliver."
