Event:

Talking Writing: ‘Lambs of God’ From Novel To Screen

Sunday March 3, 3:00-4:30pm

In 2019 Foxtel will release a television adaptation of Marele Day’s novel Lambs of God, a dark, gothic tale about three nuns living in an isolated convent by the coast and an unwelcome visitor who enters their lives and changes their world forever.

Our first Talking Writing for 2019 will bring together the writers behind this series. Internationally acclaimed author Marele Day and screenwriter Sarah Lambert (Love Child, A Place To Call Home, Love My Way) will be facilitated by Suzanne Leal to shed light on how a work is transformed from the page to screen.

Listen to a podcast of the event on our Soundcloud or below. Also read the event recap written by project and communications intern Claire Thompson.
