'The passion and charisma Geoffrey Robertson is famous for from the television series Hypotheticals will grace the Hamer Hall stage in the world premiere of his live show Dreaming Too Loud.
'In a one night only event, Robertson will offer rare insights into the many iconic moments of his private and professional life, including an illustrious career of high-profile and controversial cases and tireless campaigning for international human rights.
'Some of his recent cases include the representation of Julian Assange in extradition proceedings in the UK, the representation of Armenia with barrister Amal Clooney at the European Court of Human Rights in the Perinçek v. Switzerland case as well as having been on several human rights missions on behalf of Amnesty International – there’s much to be seen, heard and learnt from this extraordinary man.
'With his trademark intelligence, humour and humanity, Geoffrey Robertson’s first one-man show will be a beguiling mix of gravitas and intellectual larrikinism - a rare opportunity to see the man on stage live as he has never been seen before.' (Production summary)
