Australian Modernist Theatre and Patrick White's
ISSN 2414-8385 (Online) European Journal of January-April 2017 ISSN 2414-8377 (Print Multidisciplinary Studies Volume 2, Issue 4 Australian Modernist Theatre and Patrick White’s the Ham Funeral (1961 [1947]) Ryszard W. Wolny Institute of English and American Studies, University of Opole, Poland Abstract For a considerable period of time, literary Modernism has been mainly associated with the study of the novel and poetry rather than drama perhaps due to New Criticism’s emphasis on the text and disregard of performance. This profound anti-theatrical thrust of Modernism has to be, most certainly, re-examined and reassessed, particularly within the context of Australian literature and, more specifically, Australian theatre. That Australian modernist theatre has been inconspicuous on the world stage seems to be an obvious and undisputable statement of facts. Yet, with Patrick White, English-born but Australian-bred 1976 Nobel Prize winner for literature, Australian low-brow uneasy mix of British vaudevilles, farces and Shakespeare, mingled with the local stories of bushranging and convictism, got to a new start. Patrick White’s literary output is immense and impressive, particularly in regards to his widely acclaimed and renowned novels; yet, as it seems, his contribution to Australian – least the world – drama is virtually unknown, especially in Europe. The aim of this paper is, therefore, to disclose those modernist elements in Patrick White’s play, The Ham Funeral, that would argue for the playwright to be counted as one of the world avant-garde modernist dramatists alongside Beckett and Ionesco. Keywords: Modernism, Australian drama, Patrick White, The Ham Funeral, anti-consumerism INTRODUCTION European and Australian Modernism(s) What is generally understood by the term Modernism is the movement in the arts, its set of cultural tendencies and associated cultural activities, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western societies in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

At the time of his birth, White was heir to half the family property, ‘Belltrees’, in Scone. On returning to Australia from London in 1912, White’s parents decided to move to Sydney, as Ruth disliked the social scene in the Hunter and Dick had developed interests in horse racing that required him to spend more time in the city. Despite White’s brief association with the property, ‘Belltrees’ was one of many childhood landscapes that he recreated in his writing.

Louis Esson and his friends, struggling to initiate perfor- mances of Australian plays in Melbourne early in the century and later in the twenties with the Pioneer Players, would be gratified to see the steady stream of performed play texts which over the last ten years hold an honourable place in bookshops, andY on the bookshelves of libraries and private buyers. An occaTsional gloomy reference to a decline in indigenous drama is expected, but no one who looks at the present scene can feel justified in predicting a recession, drought or bankruptcy in the industry of Australian playwriting. While the range and type of plays are considerable, the standard of individual plays is never less than respectable and often impressively good. Whether or not the last few years have produced a great Australian play will only be determined by a longer perspective.

Roger Covell: the Go-Between * Vincent Plush
2016 © Vincent Plush, Context 41 (2016): 45–58. Roger Covell: The Go-between * Vincent Plush On a hot Sunday afternoon in December 1963, Peter Sculthorpe and Roger Covell drove to Castle Hill for lunch. Their host was Patrick White. It was not long before the 51-year-old writer and 34-year-old composer were planning projects together. In that relationship, Covell became the intermediary, a kind of go-between who negotiated the speed bumps over a testy and somewhat brief relationship-ride. For several decades, Covell remained a behind-the- scenes figure as Richard Meale and David Malouf proceeded to create the opera Voss, which premiered at the Adelaide Festival in March 1986. This article examines the role that Covell had in the creation of what many hoped would come to be regarded as ‘the great Australian opera.’ White had been curious to meet Sculthorpe, who had recently arrived from Launceston to take up an appointment at the University of Sydney. Covell had recommended Sculthorpe to Professor Donald Peart, foundation Professor of Music at the University of Sydney. Covell had written favourable reviews of Sculthorpe’s music and White had asked him for an introduction. ‘Bring Sculthorpe out to lunch some day,’ was the instruction. Patrick White had an ulterior motive for wanting to meet Peter Sculthorpe. The author was looking for a composer. He had written the libretto for an opera, or thought he had. It was based on the story of Eliza Fraser, the shipwrecked Englishwoman who survived some years in the mangrove swamps of Queensland. The opening of the Sydney Opera House was * This article was originally given as an address at the University of New South Wales on 5 March 2016, on the occasion of Roger Covell’s 85th birthday.

A Cheery Soul, the Ham Funeral and the Season at Sarsaparilla in Production
1 USING DELEUZE AND GUATTARI'S LOGIC OF SENSATION TO ANALYSE PATRICK WHITE’S A CHEERY SOUL, THE HAM FUNERAL AND THE SEASON AT SARSAPARILLA IN PRODUCTION AUTHOR Andrew Robert Fuhrmann OCRID IDENTIFER 0000-0003-4272-6814 DEGREE Masters by Research SUBMISSION DATE August 2017 DEPARTMENT School of Culture and Communication STATEMENT Thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the degree. 2 ABSTRACT In this thesis I provide a sustained aesthetic analysis of three performances of plays by Patrick White at the Sydney Theatre Company. These three performances are based on productions that are now regarded as major landmarks in the development of Australian theatre. The focus of my analysis is the operation of these performances at the level of sensation. In this thesis I argue that in order to fully appreciate the impact of these performances, analysis must extend beyond processes of meaning-making, beyond the identification of ideological and cultural criticism, and embrace the strategic capture and mobilisation of affects and intensities. In order to carry out such an analysis, I propose a model of performance analysis based on the aesthetic philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari outlined in What Is Philosophy?. Using this methodology, live performance is reconceptualised as a 'bloc of sensations' that can be analysed in terms of three elements: figure, house and cosmos or universe. Chapter One focuses on the element of the figure in the context of the 1979 production of A Cheery Soul. This chapter highlights the radical approach to Patrick White's stage directions taken by the director Jim Sharman and designer Brian Thomson.
