It is committed to the engagement between the imagination of its artists and its audiences, to the development of the art form of theatre, and to excellence in all its endeavours. STC has been a major force in Australian drama since its establishment in 1978. It was created by the New South Wales Government, following the demise of the Old Tote Theatre Company. The original intention was to better utilise the Drama Theatre of the Sydney Opera House and the new Company comprised a small central administration staff, technical staff, workshop and rehearsal facilities. Richard Wherrett was appointed Artistic Director from 1979 to 1990. The Wharf opened on 13 December, 1984 by Premier Neville Wran, which allowed all departments of the Company to be housed under one roof for the first time. The venue was to become the envy of the theatre world. From 1985, the Company could perform in two locations throughout the year, the Drama Theatre and The Wharf. From 1990 to 1999, Wayne Harrison served as Artistic Director. A third regular venue, Sydney Theatre, administered and operated by STC, opened in 2004. The predominant financial commitment to STC is made by its audience. Of this audience, the Company's subscribers make a crucial commitment. The Company is also assisted annually by grants from the Federal Government through the Australia Council and the New South Wales Government through the Ministry for the Arts. STC also actively seeks sponsorship and donations from the corporate sector and from private individuals.

Sydney Theatre Company’s The 7 Stages of Grieving Teacher’s Notes © 2008 5 MEDIA RELEASE Sydney Theatre Company Education presents THE 7 STAGES OF GRIEVING By Wesley Enoch and Deborah Mailman Friday 22 February - Tuesday 18 March 2008 Wharf 2, Sydney Theatre Company One of Australia’s most popular and celebrated Indigenous plays, The 7 Stages of Grieving by Wesley Enoch and Deborah Mailman, makes a welcome return to Sydney Theatre Company this year. An all new production directed by Leah Purcell and starring Lisa Flanagan, takes audiences on an emotional journey through love, anger, humour and loss, at Wharf 2 from 22 February to 18 March 2008. The groundbreaking play, chronicling one woman’s grief and exploring issues of forgiveness and reconciliation, integrates traditional and contemporary forms of storytelling, movement and song. Paralleling Elisabeth Kubler- Ross’s 5 Stages of Dying with the 7 Phases of Aboriginal history and the processes of grieving, the return of this empowering work is particularly timely. Having first appeared in 1995, the play went on to be a massive hit and tour internationally before a final scene was re-written and the piece re-staged to incorporate the historic ‘reconciliation’ or ‘sorry’ march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. With a formal apology by the government proposed as a first item of business for federal parliament on 13 February 2008, the play again looks set to evolve in a changing Australian context. Open to both school groups and the general public, The 7 Stages of Grieving is the first production of Sydney Theatre Company’s 2008 Education programme. Making her Sydney Theatre Company debut, Leah Purcell co-wrote and acted in Box The Pony, which played in Sydney, Edinburgh and London. As an actor she is known for the films Lantana, Somersault, The Proposition and Jindabyne and she wrote and directed the documentary Black Chicks Talking, which won a 2002 Inside Film Award. Stage credits include The Story of the Miracles at Cookies Table (nominated for Best Actress award, 2007 Sydney Theatre Awards) Parramatta Girls and Stuff Happens (nominated for Best Actress award, 2006 Helmann Awards). Lisa Flanagan has numerous film and television credits, including Australian Rules, Black and White and All Saints and theatre credits including Parramatta Girls, My Girragundji and The Sapphires. Sydney Theatre Company Education delivers a specially designed programme for up to 30,000 young people each year, including four major productions, a range of workshops, professional development opportunities for teachers and a range of other activities including the Sydney Theatre Company Sydney Morning Herald Young Playwrights’ Award. Following its Sydney dates, the production also tours to Griffith Regional Theatre (opens 2 April), Wagga Wagga Civic Theatre (opens 4 April) and Albury Performing Arts Centre (opens 9 April).

    Theatre Costume, Celebrity Persona, and the Archive

    Persona Studies 2019, vol. 5, no. 2 THEATRE COSTUME, CELEBRITY PERSONA, AND THE ARCHIVE EMILY COLLETT ABSTRACT This essay considers the archived costume in relation to the concept of the celebrity performer’s persona. It takes as its case study the Shakespearean costume of Indigenous actress Deborah Mailman, housed in the Australian Performing Arts Collection. It considers what the materiality of the theatre costume might reveal and conceal about a performer’s personas. It asks to what extent artefacts in an archive might both create a new persona or freezeframe a particular construct of a performer. Central to the essay are questions of agency in relation to the memorialisation of a still living actress and the problematisation of persona in terms of the archived object. Can a costume generate its own persona in relation to the actress? And what are the power dynamics involved in persona construction when an archived costume presents a charged narrative which is very different to the actress’s current construction of her persona? KEY WORDS Costume; Archive; Deborah Mailman; Indigenous; Memory; Shakespeare COSTUME IN THE ARCHIVE: A CHARGED OBJECT In this essay I consider the archived theatre costume in relation to persona studies and what the materiality of costume might reveal or conceal about the celebrity performer’s persona(s). Can an archived costume have its own persona? What complexities arise when the charged historical narrative of an archived costume is at odds with a current persona? And in the following case study of Deborah Mailman, what happens when the framing of a living Indigenous actress’s costume constructs a persona that is quite different to the one that the actress currently constructs for herself? A costume worn by a performer live on stage is remembered in particular ways – and many in the audience might focus more on the performer’s stance, physicality, and verbal prowess than what they are wearing.
  • Leah Purcell DROVER’S WIFE

    Leah Purcell DROVER’S WIFE

    THE Leah Purcell DROVER’S WIFE Currency Press, Sydney Writer’s Note Like many Australians, I’ve grown up with this story and love it. My mother would read or recite it to me, but before she got to that famous last line, I would stop her and say, “Mother, I won’t ever go a drovin’.” I always wanted to do something with this story with me in it as the drover’s wife. There were two forms of inspiration that motivated me to write this play. First came the film idea in 2006, which I wanted to shoot in the Snowy Mountains. That inspiration came when I was filming the feature film Jindabyne, directed by Ray Lawrence. Secondly, I was in a writing workshop. I was there as a director, but got frustrated. So I went home and said it was time to write my next play. I looked at my bookshelf and there it was: my little red tattered book of Henry Lawson’s short stories. The red cover had now fallen off, its spine thread fraying and my drawings inside as a five-year-old fading. In the original story, the drover’s wife sits at the table waiting for a snake to come out of her bedroom, having gotten in via the wood heap, which a ‘blackfella’ stacked hollow. While she waits for the snake, she thinks about her life and its hardships. Her oldest son joins her and she shares her story with him. This is not my version of The Drover’s Wife.
