The Berlin Sofa: Australian Ambassador Peter Tesch

English Theatre Berlin reading series.

The Australian Ambassador to Germany, Peter Tesch, and the Hamburg-resident Australian author and journalist, Campbell Jefferys, will draw on a wide range of literary and not-so-literary works to explore the questions, how are we seen and how would we like to be seen? (And, yes, there'll be Australian beer!)

Tickets: 5 Euros
