EYEING THE WEEKEND

FRIDAY 5/7
THE BOOK OF EVERYTHING

The Woodbin Theatre will tomorrow night welcome The Book of Everything presented by Geelong Repertory Theatre Company. Adapted by Richard Tulloch from the 2004 novel of the same name by Guus Kuijer, The Book of Everything tells the story of nine-year-old Thomas who can see things nobody else can. The young boy records his visions so when his father is beating him, or his mother is weeping, he can remember how he felt when he saw them – happy. Tickets to The Book of Everything are $30 per person. The Woodbin Theatre is located at 15 Coronation Street, Geelong West. Visit gpac.org.au/find-a-show/ for more information.

instalment to be held at Leopold Library on Saturday August 24. Dr Kofman is a writing teacher and mentor based in Melbourne. She is the author of five books and editor of two anthologies. The Russian-born writer will stimulate discussion on the myths surrounding our conception of physical perfection and what it’s like to live in a body that deviates from the norm.
