Who’s Afraid of the Working Class?
Andrew Bovell, Patricia Cornelius, Melissa Reeves, Christos Tsiolkas, Irine Vela

Five plays are intertwined in one in this story of fringe dwellers living in an age of social, economic and moral deprivation. Mostly without work, and politically disengaged, they work at survival.

Staging Asylum
Emma Cox (ed.), version 1.0, Victoria Carless, Ben Eltham, Linda Jaivin, Catherine Simmonds, Towfiq Al-Qady

The first of its kind, this timely anthology brings together six contemporary Australian plays that offer a range of narratives and perspectives on asylum seekers. A vexed issue within the Australian community—particularly among politicians, who often use asylum seekers to further their own ends—this collection contributes to Australia's ongoing discourse on unauthorised asylum seekers, immigration detention, border control and the right to belong.

Contemporary Indigenous Plays
Vivienne Cleven, Wesley Enoch, David Milroy, Geoffrey Narkle, Jane Harrison

Five plays from around the country that illustrate the rich tradition of Indigenous storytelling as it flourishes in contemporary theatre.

Plays of the 70s: Volume 1
Katharine Brisbane (ed.), Michael Boddy, Bob Ellis, Alma de Groen, John Romeril, Jack Hibberd, David Williamson

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.
