The notion of black comedy M pp U Proud to be NZ’s Most Awarded Official Caterers of Official Telecommunications completely eluded me. Why was it meant to be funny when they were crooks and S Winery and Sponsor of Auckland Theatre Company Partner Auckland Theatre Company killers? Happily the idea of a spooky comedy is an accepted genre nowadays; and in the case of this new stage version, Graham Linehan brings his considerable skills as the creative mastermind behind hit television comedies such as Father Ted, Black Books S and The IT Crowd to this vintage work. He’s refreshed it, embellished the characters IA with delicious contemporary neuroses and perked up the plot with more knockabout RTNER RTNER MED PA JOR VENUE comic business than the original Ealing film.

Following the lives of three priests and their housekeeper on the fictional landmass of Craggy Island, the series, which first aired in 1995, became an instant sensation. Although Father Ted only ran for three seasons and had wrapped by 1998, its cult status reigns to this very day. The show is critically renowned for its writing by Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews, which details the crazy lives of the parochial house inhabitants: Father Ted Crilly (Dermot Morgan), Father Dougal McGuire (Ardal O'Hanlon), Father Jack Hackett (Frank Kelly), and Mrs Doyle (Pauline McLynn).

A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy III English at Massey University [Palmerston North], New Zealand Susan Lillian Williams 2006 11 DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my grandfather and my mother, neither of whom had the privilege of gaining the education that they both so much deserved. I stand on their shoulders, just as my son, David, will stand on mine. The writing of this thesis, however, would not have been possible without the unstinting assistance of Ainslie Hewton.

You and I will always be playing alongside your beloved riverbank. III ABSTRACT Drama has been the slowest of the arts to develop an authentic New Zealand 'voice.' This thesis focuses on the work of five playwrights: Bruce Mason, James K. Baxter, Mervyn Thompson, Renee and Robert Lord, all of whom have set out to identify such a 'voice' and in so doing have brought about a metamorphosis in the nature of New Zealand drama.

I also want to thank Tod Goldberg for accepting me into the program and for his very insightful comments on my work. The smart, thoughtful feedback from Mary Yukari Waters was also instrumental in getting my story where it needed to be. Thanks also to my many colleagues at UCR who provided very valuable comments on my work and whose work I too admire. I am so lucky to have had you as friends in this program, so much so that I copied verbatim the first half of this sentence from the sample acknowledgments page in the thesis review packet. Last, I want to thank my parents Suresh and Shaila Supekar who gave me the stories to tell and the desire to tell them by virtue of just being here, in America, as immigrants who left so much behind in India. And of course, none of my work would be possible without the love—upon which everything is built, really—from my partner Arturo Aguilar, who pushed me to follow my dream and has supported me in every way throughout this journey.

Sweet Charity really is an act of love. Legendary Italian film-maker Federico Fellini created the filmNights of Cabiria for his wife Giulietta Masina. The famous American choreographer Bob Fosse then turned it into a Broadway musical for his wife Gwen Verdon. Perhaps best known from the iconic 1966 film starring Shirley McLaine, Sweet Charity is a feel-good dance musical in the best sense. I love Jackie Clarke’s work and have been looking for something to showcase her talents for some time. The New Zealand Post Season of Sweet Charity is the perfect vehicle for her great voice, her playfulness, her mimicry, her extraordinary understanding of musical styles and her irrepressible energy. I’m also privileged to work with two of New Zealand’s finest and most committed artists, choreographer Shona McCullagh, and musical director/arranger (and composer in his own right), John Gibson.
