1 Promoting Agency or 'Stepping-Stones R Us'? : Recent Melbourne Youth Theatre Geoffrey Milne , 2005 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australasian Drama Studies , October no. 47 2005; (p. 121-139)
The paper focuses on 'a range of youth theatre practice in Melbourne since the last years of the 1990s. ... It examines a mixture of extant works, or plays specially commissioned for youth companies, and others that are devised by members of the companies with assistance from professional writers and dramaturgs' (121). The author is interested in the 'youth-specificity' of the works performed, the working relationships writers and dramaturgs have with the young people, and the efficacy of the works as theatre and as youth theatre.

1 4 y separately published work icon Theatre Australia (Un)Limited : Australian Theatre Since the 1950s Australian Theatre Since the 1950s Geoffrey Milne , Amsterdam New York (City) : Rodopi , 2004 Z1112860 2004 single work criticism Theatre Australia (Un)limited examines the structures of post-war Australian theatre: its artists, companies, financial and policy underpinnings. It analyses three 'waves' of Australian theatrical activity after 1953, and the types of organisations which grew up to support and maintain them. 'Subsidy, repertoire patterns, finances and administration, theatre buildings, companies, festivals and notable productions of the commercial, mainstream and alternative Australian theatre are examined state by state, and changes to governmental policy analysed. Theatrical forms comprise not only spoken-word drama, but also music theatre, comedy, theatre-restaurant, circus, puppetry, community theatre in several forms and new mixed-media genres: physical theatre, circus, visual theatre and contemporary performance.' The book provides an overview of the fortunes of Australian theatre as a national enterprise, and an analysis of the 'three waves' essential for the understanding of the New Wave and of contemporary drama.
