AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'On 12 May 1960, writes John Clark, 'Robert Quentin's remarkable production of Marc Connelly's The Green Pastures put NIDA on the theatrical map'. It was, indeed, NIDA's first public performance - the commonly cited Our Town was performed in-house in 1959, and the well-regarded repertory season of Hay Fever and Love's Labour's Lost made up the first graduation shows in October 1960, Despite the importance that Clark ascribes to it in his 2003 history of NIDA (quoted above), The Green Pastures is conspicuously absent from almost all institutional histories, and even for Clark it merits only this one sentence.'

    'In the fortieth year of the Australasian Association for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies, this seventieth issue of its journal continues to publish a remarkably diverse range of articles from a continuously evolving set of disciplines. The collection is presented in roughly chronological order, beginning with two articles exploring aspects of Australia's colonial past. Jane Woollard's richly detailed account of the different styles and careers of two of Australia's best known nineteenth-century actresses is followed by an article in which William Dunstone and Helena Grehan revisit the history of performance on the Western Australian Goldfields through the lens of cultural geography.'
