And in the latest news, the festival has added two dynamic Australian artists to the programme — actor Ebony McGuire and writer Zac James from Yirra Yaakin (Stand Tall) theatre company in Perth, Western Australia. The pair will deliver two exciting events (and make guest appearances at several others), bringing the total of festival events to 19 over four days from October 3 to 6. The pair will present Yirra Yaakin: Stand Tall on October 4, from 4.15pm at Bark! These and many more workshops and events will be held across seven venues in the central city throughout the NZ Young Writers Festival.
