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. 410 0$aAustralian playwrights ;$vmonograph 11. 606 $aAustralian drama$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAustralian drama$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater$zAustralia 606 $aMasculinity in literature 606 $aGender identity in the theater 606 $aSex role in the theater 606 $aTheater and society$zAustralia 615 0$aAustralian drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAustralian drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater 615 0$aMasculinity in literature. 615 0$aGender identity in the theater. 615 0$aSex role in the theater. 615 0$aTheater and society 676 $a822.91409994 700 $aBollen$b Jonathan$01090977 701 $aKiernander$b Adrian$01490861 701 $aParr$b Bruce$01490862 712 02$aebrary, Inc. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782009403321 996 $aMen at play$93712326 997 $aUNINA
