Melanie Tait

Playwright, Journalist, Big Potato Heiress

Melanie Tait joins host Savva Savas as they discuss life, creativity, and her complicated relationship with food.

A feast of talent, Melanie is an award-winning journalist, author, radio broadcaster and playwright, and “one rip-snorter of a story teller”. She shares her journey from growing up in rural NSW in the shadow of “The Big Potato”, her life in London, travels in Portugal and her love of nostalgia. Through her poignant reflections, Melanie lends empowerment to those who may feel “different” and she does so with an abundance of wit and wisdom.

As a playwright and broadcaster, Melanie knows the ups and downs of the entertainment industry. This is why she is a keen supporter of Actors Benevolent Fund, which lends much-needed support to all those employed in the arts who have fallen on hard times through career lows.
