Performances are at the Drama Theatre, Sydney Opera House from 31 October to 17 December (opening 4 November 2016).
The Music Hall's Innovation and Leadership and Writers in the Loft welcomes Jill Lepore, award-winning author, New Yorker staff writer, and renowned historian and professor at Harvard University, to Portsmouth on Tuesday, January 20, 2015. Ms. Lepore will discuss THE SECRET HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN, her highly acclaimed new work about the origins of one of the world's most iconic superheroes. The book reads like a detective novel—full of larger than life personalities, surprises, secrets, and revelations that Ms. Lepore gleaned from archives of private and unpublished papers. In this critically acclaimed work she reveals a missing piece of the history of feminism, skillfully lifting the obscure out of silence.
