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. 410 0$aAustralian playwrights ;$vmonograph no. 13. 606 $aAustralian drama$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAustralian drama 676 $a882/.009 700 $aVarney$b Denise$0884689 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456756003321 996 $aRadical visions 1968-2008$91975574 997 $aUNINA
