Four plays written between 1966 and 1968, years at the cusp of reform in Australia as a truly local form of contemporary theatre began to make itself felt with a sudden and spontaneous elevation of language.

What do a transvestite, an ageing shearer, a retired prostitute and a famous footballer have in common? All find themselves in a cabaret venue late one night after the show - and all are looking for love.

Plays of the 50s is a collection of plays, including Sky Without Birds by Oriel Gray, Shipwreck by Douglas Stewart, The Night of the Ding-Dong by Ralph Peterson, and The Day Before Tomorrow by Ric Throssell. 

An anthology of writings and commentary from Australia’s foremost theatre writer and Currency Press founder. Not Wrong, Just Different traces the development of theatre in Australia from the time that Katharine Brisbane joined the staff of The Australian in mid-1967 right up to today’s state of the performing arts.

Plays of the 50s: Volume 2 is a collection of plays including The Multi-Coloured Umbrella by Barbara Vernon, The Slaughter of St Teresa's Day by Peter Kenna, Image in the Clay by David Ireland, and The Life of the Party by Ray Matthew. 

The plays in this volume were landmarks in the development of a rough new all-Australian theatre that celebrated the rude colour of Australian language and mores. It was a period of comedy and satire, but these plays reveal a sharp social criticism at work beneath the larrikinism.
