Contemporary Australian Drama: Perspectives Since 1955

For a Canadian looking at a book like Contemporary Australian Drama it is difficult not to make comparisons. For example, in 1958 Bruce Grant said, ’The most important pressure on the Australian theatre today is that of ordinary Australians who want to see themselves on the stage.’ Sound familiar? How about a 1960 statement by an Englishman, Hugh Hunt, first director of the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust: ’Today I am concerned with the making of theatre - of a national theatre - and this must include in its repertoire classic as well as contemporary plays.’ As one might expect, he received a prompt reply from an Australian, Leonie Kramer, who particularly took issue when Hunt said of the Australian play: ‘it would be unfair to judge a dramatic literature which has scarcely begun.’
