FrankTALK with Toby Schmitz

Next date: Friday, 23 May 2025 | 01:00 PM to 02:00 PM

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind afternoon with Toby Schmitz – the actor, playwright, and all-around creative powerhouse you know from Boy Swallows Universe, Gaslight, The Twelve, and more. Now, he’s once again trading in the spotlight for the page with his brand-new whodunit The Empress Murders, and he’s bringing all the gritty details to Frankston Library for a FrankTALK you won’t forget.

Toby’s not just about being on stage or screen – he's also the mind behind the sharp, bold plays like Degenerate Art and Lucky (which snagged him the Patrick White Award). Now, with The Empress Murders, he dives deep into a bloodthirsty world of intrigue, betrayal, and danger. Trust us, you’ll want to hear him talk about how he brought this page-turner to life.

Expect insights into his writing process, a peek behind the curtain at his life in the theatre and TV worlds, and some stories you won’t hear anywhere else. Whether you’re a fan of his acting or just love a good murder mystery, this is your chance to catch Toby in his element.

Space is limited, so grab your seat for this unforgettable afternoon with one of Australia’s most exciting storytellers.
