July 2009: JUST MACBETH tour
A very big thank you to everyone who came along to all the school, evening and bookshop events held during July 2009 to celebrate the launch of JUST MACBETH! It was great to meet you all–and re-meet many old friends again–and I look forward to doing it all again in September for the launch of the fourth book in the Schooling Around series, ROBOT RIOT! Please check back to this site for details–they’ll be posted in the next couple of weeks. Until then, happy reading!
Feedback from the JUST MACBETH tour:
- ‘He is just so funny. Thoroughly entertaining’. (parent)
- ‘Well I have never seen so many boys having such a good/naughty time. Andy certainly knows how to engage his audience’. (parent)
- ‘Had trouble getting my child to sleep afterwards. He couldn’t stop talking about Andy’. (parent)
- ‘I couldn’t believe how many kids in the audience had at least one copy of Andy’s book in hand and could virtually quote him’. (adult)
- ‘He got my youngest boy into reading’. (parent)
- ‘I like him cos he is rude and a little bit silly’. (boy)
- ‘Well organised and professional event. My first visit and I had no idea how good they are’. (adult)
- ‘Please, please can he come again??’ (group of children)
- ‘Thank you so much for a great night’. (adult)
- ‘Just wanted to say thank you for organising such a wonderful event! My kids have not stopped talking about Andy since!’ (parent)
- The event was absolutely sensational! 600 kids were totally spellbound, all their teachers had a great laugh and we love Andy more than ever! Please send him back to Tassie ASAP. It was the best “kids’” event I’ve been to in 30 years’s teaching. (teacher)

Hi Andy
How come I saw your big bus here in Ballarat on Saturday 25th July, but there is no mention of you visiting us? I have two boys who would love to hear you talk, and two high school classes that need the inspiration as we get into Shakespeare.

Hi Terri,
The bus was on its way back to Sydney. I live in Melbourne, so I wasn’t on it. But the good news is that I will be visiting Ballarat in September for the ROBOT RIOT tour, so please check back on this site over the next little while and I’ll put the exact date up asap.
