Hosted by:

February 19, 2015 @ 11:30 pm - February 20, 2015 @ 1:00 am

Melbourne Forum is delighted to welcome BAFTA winning English actress Miriam Margolyes!

Miriam recently completed a season of her one woman show “I’ll eat you first” for the MTC.  She returns in March with “The importance of being Miriam”.  Miriam has performed many roles on stage and screen (for Blackadder fans, she played the role of the Spanish Infanta!  Priceless!) and Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter series.

Miriam is known for her personality, voice and wit – and, of course, her stagecraft.  At our Melbourne Forum lunch she will lead discussion on a ragout of topics in conversation with Andrea Hull  “Palestine, Ageing, Life between England and Australia and Memories of a Sex Life”

Certain to be entertaining,controversial even, and not to be missed!
