    Preliminary Material -- Introduction -- “What’s a man to do?” -- Fists, boots and blues -- The bully and the businessman -- Black men, white men -- In the theatre of war -- “Wog boy” moves -- Representing gay masculinities -- From father to son -- Between the sea and the sky -- References -- Index. How are masculinities enacted in Australian theatre? How do Australian playwrights depict masculinities in the present and the past, in the bush and on the beach, in the city and in the suburbs? How do Australian plays dramatise gender issues like father-son relations, romance and intimacy, violence and bullying, mateship and homosexuality, race relations between men, and men’s experiences of war and migration? Men at Play explores theatre’s role in presenting and contesting images of masculinity in Australia. It ranges from often-produced plays of the 1950s to successful contemporary plays – from Dick Diamond’s Reedy River , Ray Lawler’s Summer of the Seventeenth Dol l, Richard Beynon’s The Shifting Heart and Alan Seymour’s The One Day of the Year to David Williamson’s Sons of Cain , Richard Barrett’s The Heartbreak Kid , Gordon Graham’s The Boys and Nick Enright’s Blackrock . The book looks at plays as they are produced in the theatre and masculinity as it is enacted on the stage. It is written in an accessible style for students and teachers in drama at university and senior high school. The book’s contribution to contemporary debates about masculinity will also interest scholars in gender, race and sexuality studies, literary studies and Australian history

Transfigured Stages: Major Practitioners and Theatre Aesthetics in Australia captures the excitement of a key period in the emergence of postdramatic theatre in Australia in the 1980s and 1990s. It is the first book to discuss work by The Sydney Front (1986 – 1993) and Open City (1987 – ), and engages contemporary cultural and aesthetic theory to analyse performances by these artists, as well as theatre productions by Jenny Kemp and others. These performance practitioners are considered as part of an international paradigm attesting to forms of theatre that no longer operate according to the established principles of drama. This book also highlights the complexity of Indigenous theatre through its analysis of the Mudrooroo-Müller project staged in 1996

    Preliminary Material -- List of Figures -- Series Editor’s Preface -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- The International Generation of 1968: Theatre and Culture -- The Australian Performing Group and Its Legacy, 1968–2008 -- Williamson in the Howard Years -- John Romeril – The Asian Australian Journey -- A Parallel Forty-Year Female Narrative with Alma De Groen -- Richard Murphet and the Wounded Subject -- Jenny Kemp – On the Edge -- Stephen Sewell and the State of the Nation -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index. Radical Visions 1968-2008: The Impact of the Sixties on Australian Drama is about a generation of Australian playwrights who came of age in the sixties. This important book shows how international trends in youth radicalism and cultural change at the time contributed to the rise of interest in alternative theatre and drama in a number of locations. It follows the career of Australia’s major playwrights — Alma De Groen, Jenny Kemp, Richard Murphet, John Romeril, Stephen Sewell and David Williamson — whose early plays were first performed at La Mama and the Pram Factory theatres in Melbourne in the sixties and seventies and who continue to make new work. The book’s dual purpose is to examine the impact of the sixties on playwriting and update the scholarship on the contemporary works with close readings of the plays of the nineties and the first decade of the twenty-first century. By analysing the recent plays, the book traces the continuing impact of left wing politics and cultural change on Australian theatre and society

    Unsettling Space combines a study of Australian theatre since 1979 with the spatial politics that structure Australian cultural identity. Proposing a highly original theoretical framework for analyzing drama (not just in Australia, but across the world), this fascinating study examines the anxieties that emerge from contested spatiality. Theatre draws attention to 'unsettlement' in Australia, the disruptive process by which 'settlement' took place. Unsettlement emerges in recurring anxieties regarding the difficulties in settling the landscape, Aboriginal dispossession, and/or fears of invasion. Rather than reading theatre chronologically or geographically, Unsettling Space focuses on monuments, contamination and borders. Staged monuments have the potential to destabilise a culture's symbolic memory by exploring absence and loss, in addition to their role as placeholders for sanctioned history. Including chapters on 'contamination' (in the form of asylum seekers in Australian detention centres, or theatrical investigations of nuclear fallout in Maralinga) and an exploration of how 'identity spaces' are established and reworked in theatre to productively reinterpret history and politics, Joanne Tompkins' study uses the Australian context as a basis for constructing analytical frames which can be usefully applied to other countries and cultures.
