Rake
Peter Duncan
On November 4, ABC TV and writer/director Peter Duncan will launch new drama series Rake, chronicling the cases of Cleaver Green (Richard Roxburgh), a criminal defence lawyer who defends “bigamists to cannibals and everything in between”.
With a character inspired by the notorious real-life barrister and author Charles Waterstreet, we look at the rise of the antihero protagonist (think bad boy contemporaries House, Breaking Bad and the BBC’s upcoming Sherlock) and how to build empathy with them.
Special guest:
• Peter Duncan – writer/director (Rake, Unfinished Sky, Children of the Revolution)
Time: 5-6pm
Date: Friday, October 1
Event: Friday On My Mind
Venue: AFTRS Theatre, Fox Entertainment Quarter
