Noni Hazlehurst in Conversation: Dropping the Mask

National treasure Noni Hazlehurst details her life on stage and screen and takes us behind-the-scenes of a brilliant career.

Noni Hazlehurst’s versatility as a performer knows no bounds. A household name and a beloved actor, she's graced Australian screens and theatre stages for over forty years. From Playschool and Better Homes and Gardens, to Monkey Grip and her acclaimed theatrical career – Hazlehurst has earned her place as an Australian icon. 

At this Melbourne-exclusive event, Hazlehurst will discuss her long-awaited memoir Dropping the Mask with RMIT's Elizabeth McCarthy, celebrating a life and career that are both ordinary and extraordinary – and all class.
