Iconic Aussie actors and Festival favourites Bryan Brown and Sam Neill are back in town.

Last year, Bryan interviewed Sam at the Festival. This year, it’s Bryan’s turn in the hot seat as Sam interviews him about his gripping new crime novel, The Drowning. Bryan is one of the most recognisable faces on our screens with more than 80 film and television projects to his name. This sensational new thriller with his characteristic laconic style – humorous, tough and suspenseful – confirms his place as one of the great Australian storytellers.
