DR DAVID MARSHALL WILL PRESENT ON THE TOPIC AUSTRALIAN POLITICIANS LOSS OF CREDIBILITY REINFORCED BY THEIR COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND BEHAVIOUR
David has been a Rotarian since 1979, when he returned from India as a member of a South Australian Rotary Group Exchange team. David's career started as an on air radio announcer in Berri South Australia, then moving into radio station management working with Channel 9 for 2 years, and came to Canberra in 1988 to run the newly acquired Austereo stations FM104.7 /2CA. David then became the ACT Tourism Commissioner for six years. In 2000 he founded Talkforce Communications, which runs media training programs for senior executives, and provides communications advice to both Government agencies and the private sector across Australia. David's doctoral thesis focussed on Prime Minister John Howard, and examined how the Office of the Prime Minister managed its media and communications responsibilities across federal departments and with the wider Australian community. David's Rotary presentation will focus on how electors have lost faith in politicians through their unacceptable behaviours exposed by a very critical and probing media.

NOEL COWARD’S MILD OATES and WEATHERWISE
Written in 1922 nd 1923 both were part of a Revue called “London Calling” when Coward was just getting into his stride. Teatro Vivaldi and Coward have been connected for a long time. The owners Mark Santos and Anthony Hill previously ran the Noel Coward Hotel in Elbury Street , just behind Selfridges in London’s Oxford Street. Coward lived in the house for some time. When Vivaldi began dinner/show packages some fourteen years ago, Coward performances featured heavily. Vivaldi’s closes in the middle of June in preparation for the destruction of the Arts Centre at ANU. As part of the last hurrah, Papermoon and Vivaldi productions will present the double bill of two of the earliest revue sketches written by Coward The play will be directed by Tony Turner, former Ethel Tory Head of Drama at the ANU designed by Ian Croker and costumed by Anna Senior
‘Mild Oats’, an early Coward, penned in 1922 when the author was but 23 and here adapted for the stage raises those themes that will later be developed in his more famous plays, films and songs, but is untypical of him in that both the comedy and poignancy depend not so much on the dialogue as they do on the situation itself, on the gaps and silences, on the stomach-churning awkwardness
Weatherwise, on the other hand, was a credit to the new society. Noel Coward's witty, fast-moving script will be directed by Tony Turner with ELAINE NOON, EMILY RIDGE, ALESSA KRON, PATRICIA MANLEY, GEORGE PULLEY, DUNCAN DRIVER and COLIN MILNER in the cast.
