JOHN MISTO
  • Why were Australias bravest war heroes told not
    to march on Anzac Day? Who was the notorious
    triple-murderer who had to beg an Australian
    court to find him guilty? Could a glamorous,
    Oscar-winning movie star really be connected to
    the assassination of JFK?
  • If youre a fan of John Mistos, have seen his
    plays, heard his talks or watched his television
    scripts, youll know the answer to these
    questions. And if youre not, youre missing out.
  • For the past thirty years, John Misto has been
    shining a light into the dark corners of history.
    The stories he has discovered have been
    fascinating, amusing and sometimes controversial.

John Misto - Peter Pompey
  • Misto has written many shows for children. His
    telemovie Peter Pompey, about an ancient Roman
    boat being discovered in a Queensland town, won a
    Penguin Award and was also published as a book.
    It is a perennial favourite with kids. Every year
    it is borrowed hundreds of times from Australian
    libraries.

4
The Devils Companions
  • His first novel, a thriller, The Devils
    Companions, was published in 2005 by Hachette. It
    is the story of a young detective who is
    convinced a group of nuns are guilty of
    child-abuse.

5
The Damnation of Harvey McHugh
  • John Misto has even been banned from parliament!
    His television series, The Damnation of Harvey
    McHugh, about a naïve public servant trying to
    survive in the cut-throat, politically correct
    public service, was regarded as too offensive to
    politicians to be filmed in the Victorian
    Parliament.

6
The Cut
  • Misto wrote about Australian sport in his
    television series, The Cut, for ABC TV. One of
    the episodes, about a group of football players
    who bet on their own games, was written long
    before the actual scandal broke in New South
    Wales. Another episode, about an Australian
    cricketer caught in a terrorist attack, was also
    ahead of its time.
