The Greer Effect is an interrogation of one of Australia’s most audacious thinkers. For over fifty years, Germaine Greer has been a consistently fearless and deliberately provocative figure. This play is based upon unprecedented access to the Germaine Greer Archive, portraying Greer at key points in time, giving voice to the many and varied responses she has provoked. This playreading of Vanessa O’Neill’s exciting new work is a fascinating exploration of one of Melbourne’s most formidable daughters, featuring actor Louise Siversen (Rosehaven, Utopia, Rake) as Germaine Greer. Q&A after the reading facilitated by Hannie Rayson.
