    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.

  • Idealism Versus Conservatism in Australian Theatre and Politics At
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Southern Queensland ePrints Facing Reality: Idealism versus Conservatism in Australian Theatre and Politics at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century. PhD Dissertation Ben Payne, BA (Hons). Abstract This dissertation aims to provide an analysis of mainstream Australian playwriting at the turn of the 21st Century. It will argue that mainstream theatre in the 1990s and early 2000s in many ways reflects the concurrent national political developments, in particular the revision of many of the dominant ideals of previous eras, such as those of the sixties. In this dissertation, I will attempt to outline briefly some of the hallmarks of the theatre of the New Wave, and their relation to the broader social movements occurring in Australia at the time. I will trace the beginnings of disillusionment and revising of these ideals in the late seventies and early eighties. The majority of the argument will then discuss the ways in which early nineties theatre engages with and frequently rebuts these earlier ideals, just as nineties politics saw a revision of many of the ideals of the sixties in society as a whole. I will argue that in the latter nineties, mainstream playwrights begin to reverse this conservative shift, reinstating a number of the ideals of the earlier period. I will demonstrate that Australian mainstream theatre at the turn of the century is integrally related to the politics of the society of the time, and that mainstream theatre demonstrates both radical and conservative tendencies through the period under consideration.
