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 1950's 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.Australian playwrights ;monograph 11.Australian drama20th centuryHistory and criticismAustralian drama21st centuryHistory and criticismTheaterAustraliaMasculinity in literatureGender identity in the theaterSex role in the theaterTheater and societyAustraliaAustralian dramaHistory and criticism.Australian dramaHistory and criticism.TheaterMasculinity in literature.Gender identity in the theater.Sex role in the theater.Theater and society822.91409994Bollen Jonathan1090977Kiernander Adrian1490861Parr Bruce1490862ebrary, Inc.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782009403321Men at play3712326UNINA
