Robin Wiener has been a journalist for 45 years, most of it with ABC News (US), as a senior news producer and bureau chief, leading work in Washington DC, Hong Kong, Rome, South Africa, Los Angeles and London in a career which has seen her produce ABC's authoritative content on everything from US politics and the Vatican to the first democratic elections in post-apartheid South Africa, the OJ Simpson trial, the Hong Kong handover and the death of Princess Diana. She now works freelance, covering US sporting fixtures in the UK.

In addition she is a proud patron of the arts and has been one of Dark Unicorn's major supporters since our inception, so it was a pleasure for DU Artistic Director Paddy Cooper to sit down to talk about her life, career, love of theatre and exactly what it was about Michael Jackson that she once had to find a way to report.
