Debra Oswald was just 17 years old when her first play was professionally workshopped. That was in 1977 and she's been a prodigious writer of plays, television and novels ever since. But her path has not always been easy and her story is laid bare in her one-woman show Is There Something Wrong with That Lady?

Also, we hear a scene from the new play at Queensland Theatre, Don't Ask What the Bird Look Like, which takes us into the world of a young Aboriginal woman reconnecting with her father after a very long time away from country, and for National Science Week, we delve into the science of sound and find out more about the role of sound design in theatre.
