INTERVIEW
Nigel Featherstone has never been one to follow the rules. The celebrated gay Australian novelist, playwright, librettist, and music maker is known for pushing boundaries, blending genres, and telling stories that are as intimate as they are political. From his award-winning wartime novel Bodies of Men to his new play The Story of the Oars, Featherstone’s work is fuelled by questions of truth, silence, and what it means to live freely as a queer person in Australia.
