Sydney Writers Festival streaming - Mardi Gras Debate
Saturday 21 February 2026 at 10:00AM
Kootingal Library
Event Description
The Festival’s signature rollicking debate takes to the State Library of NSW stage for a special Mardi Gras edition with everyone’s favourite adjudicator, Yumi Stynes. Charting the rise of ‘boy meets girl’ as societal status quo and interrogating what it promises, six of our best and brightest will argue whether heterosexuality puts the ‘cult’ in cultural norm. Two teams of our wittiest and most persuasive battle it out in the ultimate contest to determine, once and for all, is heterosexuality a cult? Featuring Dylin Hardcastle, Jess Hill, Benjamin Law, Maeve Marsden, Jess McGuire and Daniel Nour.
Temporary access to this recording is with thanks to the Sydney Writers Festival and the State Library of NSW.
