Bec Bowman is back for Artbeat, covering the latest in arts and culture across Boorloo, Perth.

She dives into the latest offering from local author Karen Whittle-Herbert called [The Cast Away of Harewood Hall](https://fremantlepress.com.au/contributor/karen-herbert/), a romp which follows well-meaning university student Josh and the fallout of his decision to steal lab mice infected with a deadly disease.

Award-winning comedian Lawrence Leung stops by to chat about his new live Zoom performance [Connected](https://bsstc.com.au/whats-on/connected).

And we hear Dr Edna Murray chat about his involvement in the [Irish Film Festival](https://tintean.org.au/2022/08/10/enda-murray-and-the-irish-film-festival-australian-cinema-programme/), including the Perth rendition of the international event.
