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.

Anna Weiss
Mike Cullen

Anna Weiss is a hypnotherapist, specialising in revealing 'lost' memories. Under her care, twenty-year-old Lynn has begun to 'remember' a long history of sexual abuse by her father. When Lynn confronts her father, David, he protests his innocence vehemently – so are Lynn's memories real or are they dark auto-suggestions?

A collection of two plays by Enda Walsh, including Disco Pig and Sucking Dublin.

Blackrock: the play
Nick Enright

It’s Toby Ackland’s birthday party down near the surf club—and that should mean heaps of grog, drugs and good clean fun. But by the morning a young girl is dead—raped by three boys and bashed with a rock.

Death and the Maiden
Ariel Dorfman

A woman seeks revenge when the man she believes to have been her torturer happens to re-enter her life.

A young girl, Rowena, moves to a new country town and school. Although Rowena can hear, she is mute. Her widowed father has a penchant for satin cowboy shirts and embarrassing his daughter in public.

The Dreamers
Jack Davis

The Dreamers is the story of a country-town family and old Uncle Worru, who in his dying days, recedes from urban hopelessness to the life and language of the Nyoongah spirit in him, which has survived 'civilisation'.
