1 y separately published work icon Dreamers and Visionaries : Adelaide's Little Theatres From the 1920s to the early 1940s Thelma Afford , Kerrie Round (editor), Sydney : Currency Press , 2004 Z1451581 2004 single work criticism 'Between the 1920s and 1940s there was a diverse flowering of amateur theatres in Adelaide which were experimental, inventive and ahead of their time, anticipating later theatre movements. Dreamers and Visionaries explores the rise and fall of these little theatres, reviewing their performances and personalities, and celebrating their outstanding legacy of experimentation. Afford shows how such groups greatly enhanced the South Australian theatre scene, forming the basis of Adelaide's reputation as 'the city of culture' and helping to contribute to the development of the Adelaide Festival of Arts.'
