    FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends, I am pleased to report that our new curtain mechanism has been installed. The curtain is now operated by the press of a button! In some ways it was sad to see the old pulley go as it had been a part of the Playhouse Theatre for so long. I was so relieved that the curtain itself didn't fall apart when it came down. The theatre is continually being improved. I would like to welcome Nick Lahey as a Rep director. This is his first play for Hobart Rep. Thank you to Nick cast and crew for their dedication to Up For Grabs. I look forward to seeing the fruits of their labours. President Liz “on duty” in the Box Office during the run of Something’s Afoot We thank our volunteers and supporters. We could not function without you. A SLICE OF THEATRE LIFE You never know who you’ll see at The Playhouse during a theatrical run. Top left, well known actor Jeff Michel selling programs. Top right, Hobart Rep Secretary, Tony Webb and below, Heather Chong, a most beloved Sponsor. (We LOVE our Sponsors!) UP FOR GRABS A Fast Paced Comedy and Maybe a Hint of Satire When Simone Allen, an exclusive art dealer, is given the opportunity to sell a Brett Whitely, her behaviour becomes highly questionable as the pressure mounts. Driven by greed and aesthetics, just how far will Williamson’s characters go when more than just a beautiful work of art is up for grabs in this sexy comedy of manners? A fast paced show about money, greed, unhappy couples and expensive art.

  • Food Codes in Australian Drama
    A Consuming Interest: Food Codes In Australian Drama by Gaye Poole A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (Honours) School of Theatre and Film Studies University of New South Wales. August 1993 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract Acknowledgements i i List of illustrations iii Introduction 1-22 Chapter One: Background: food in drama. 23-43 Chapter Two: Australian plays based on a meal 44-77 Chapter Three: Food as currency for power and site of family politics in Australian drama. 7 8-1 04 Chapter Four: Food rituals in Australian drama: nostalgia, 'social' rituals and death 105-144 Chapter Five: Women and food: eating/not eating and women eaten. 145-194 Chapter Six: Conclusion 195-202 Appendix A: Sweets and Drinks on stage 203-224 Appendix B: Practicalities of food on stage 225-230 Bibliography 231-250 i ABSTRACT In the context of current critical attention to food in related disciplines, this thesis sets out to explore food codes in Australian drama. Chapter One gives a brief background to contemporary Australian food uses in drama and in so doing identifies some of the continuities, discontinuities and sh"ifts in the ways in which food has been incorporated into drama. Chapter Two focuses on plays whose entire proceedings or key scene take the form of a meal. It is observed that food on stage as a gathering and shaping element takes one of several forms: a communal event; the turning point of the play, or the interrupted meal. Chapter Three argues that food bestows power on its controllers.

  • SCREENING MOTHERS: Representations of Motherhood in Australian Films from 1900 to 1988
    SCREENING MOTHERS: Representations of motherhood in Australian films from 1900 to 1988 CAROLINE M. PASCOE B.A. (Honours) M.A. UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 1998 ii The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original, except as acknowledged in the text. The material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. CAROLINE MYRA PASCOE iii ABSTRACT Although the position of mothers has changed considerably since the beginning of the twentieth century, an idealised notion of motherhood persists. The cinema provides a source of information about attitudes towards mothering in Australian society which is not diminished by the fact that mothers are often marginal to the narrative. While the study recognises that cinematic images are not unconditionally authoritative, it rests on the belief that films have some capacity to reflect and influence society. The films are placed in an historical context with regard to social change in Australian society, so that the images can be understood within the context of the time of the making and viewing of the films. The depictions of the mother are scrutinised with regard to her appearance, her attitude, her relationship with others and the expectations, whether explicit or implicit, of her role. Of particular significance is what happens to her during the film and whether she is punished or rewarded for her behaviour. The conclusions reached after analysis are used to challenge those ideas which assume that portrayals of motherhood are unchangeable and timeless.
