The scintillating chronicler of human weakness, Oscar Wilde, once said, “True friends stab you in the front”.

In this popular event, writer and presenter Annabel Crabb and writer David Marr lead opposing teams in a rollicking debate on the legitimacy of this aphorism about friends who betray each other.

Featuring debaters Matilda Boseley, Rhys Nicholson, Justine Rogers and Jennifer Wong, and adjudicated by Yumi Stynes, this debate is sure to get provocative, pithy and personal.

Supported by the City of Sydney and UNSW Sydney.
