1 2 Dead Men Talking : Henry Lawson & Banjo Patterson : A Two-Man Show of Verse, Yarns & Song Max Cullen , Warren Fahey , 2015 single work drama

'Australia's two favourite bards, Banjo Paterson and Henry lawson, meet at the Leviticus Bar & Grill, Heaven's Gate, to yarn about old times, changing circumstance, literary legacies and their infamous 'war of words' in The Bulletin magazine. It's enough to make the angels weep.'
1 3 How to Be (Or Not to Be) Lower Max Cullen , 2013 single work drama

'Join Max Cullen in his latest one man show How to be (Or not to be) Lower, an ode to the turbulent, crazy, rich, poor and surreal life of writer Lennie Lower, once regarded as Australia's Greatest Humorist.

'

Both Lower and Cullen worked at various times for (Sir) Frank Packer and probably drank in the same pubs, though Lower died when Cullen was an infant.

1 5 y separately published work icon Tell 'em Nothing, Take 'em Nowhere Max Cullen , Sydney : Pan Macmillan , 2010 Z1722918 2010 single work autobiography

'Tell 'em Nothin', Take 'em Nowhere is Max Cullen's motto, so a memoir about his life was always bound to be enigmatic...

Actor, artist, sometime journalist, erstwhile husband, drinker, Max Cullen is a legend of the Australian arts. Here, the man of famously few words tells the inside story of six decades of working in films and theatre that have shaped Australian culture and consorting with the likes of Patrick White, Brett Whiteley, David Williamson, Robyn Nevin and Cate Blanchett.

The unexpected charm of Cullen's storytelling takes the reader on a wild ride into a fascinating industry with a man who truly is one of a kind.' (Publisher's blurb)
