Plays of the 50s: Volume 2
Katharine Brisbane (ed.), Barbara Vernon, Peter Kenna, David Ireland, Ray Mathew

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

White with Wire Wheels (1967) examines the insecurity inherent in male cultural attitudes towards women and cars. Dimboola (1969) is a Rabelaisian account of a country wedding. A Stretch of the Imagination (1971), a monodrama about an outback philosopher, brought us the archetypal Australian character of Monk O'Neill, the lonely misanthropist.

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.
