Works about this Work

Uni Students Set the Stage Louis Nowra , 2019 single work review
— Appears in: The Weekend Australian , 11 May 2019; (p. 26)

— Review of The Ripples before the New Wave : Drama at the University of Sydney 1957-63 Robyn Dalton , Laura Ginters , 2018 multi chapter work criticism

'Theatre is a difficult art form to write about. Because of its evanescence it’s especially challenging to describe a production for those who haven’t seen it. One can write about a text, but how can one give the flavour of the acting and direction?' (Introduction)

[Review] The Ripples before the New Wave: Drama at the University of Sydney 1957-63 Melanie Beddie , 2019 single work review
— Appears in: Australasian Drama Studies , May no. 74 2019; (p. 291-296)
'This book, written by Robyn Dalton (née Waterhouse) and Laura Ginters, is a detailed chronicle of a significant time in Australian theatre history. It is published by Currency Press and once again demonstrates how crucial this press is to the documentation and advancement of the theatrical landscape in Australia. The authors both have a strong connection with the University of Sydney. Robyn Dalton was a student there during the period covered in the book and participated in many productions with various groups across the campus. Dr Laura Ginters lectures in the Department of Performance Studies at Sydney University as well as working as a dramaturg and translator.'

Upsurge Gillian Appleton , 2019 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , May no. 411 2019; (p. 23)

'People who were university students at a particular time often like to regard those years as exceptional, a perspective which, embellished by nostalgia, memoirs, and media hype, can take on mythic proportions. A case in point is the concurrence of people and talent that led to a high point in student theatre at the University of Sydney during the late 1950s and early 1960s.'  (Introduction)
