'I can actually tell my story without benefit of playwright or hidden
beneath the cloak of a character.' Maggie Kirkpatrick, famous for her role
as The Freak in Prisoner, presents a no-holds-barred account of her life
both on and off screen. In The Gloves Are Off, Maggie takes us on her
journey from humble beginnings in a Newcastle dress shop to becoming one of
Australia's most well-known television and theatre stars. She gives us a
peek behind the scenes of the television industry and the world of the
theatre with insight and wit - the business, the challenges and the names.
Maggie also shares publicly, for the first time, the full story of her very
public legal battle - and the consequences of that battle that she's still
living with today.
