Course description
This course examines the long tradition of Australian drama from early convict theatre, through nineteenth century melodrama, and across the bush drama, New Wave, Aboriginal drama and 'Internationalist' schools of the twentieth century to the present day. Questions the course asks include 'How is national identity reflected in the theatre Australia produces?', or even more importantly, 'How is national identity shaped by the work of theatre-makers across time?'
