  • Connie Healy Women in Radical Theatre in Brisbane
    Connie Healy Women In Radical Theatre In Brisbane Firstly, I must introduce myself. I was interviewed five years ago by a reporter from the Courier-Mail (our local Brisbane newspaper) after my book Defiance, dealing with the history of radical/political theatre from 1930 to 1962 in Brisbane, was published. She described me in lurid terms. ‘An atheist at 15, a socialist by 16, a communist by 17, widowed at 19. Adolescent angst, Connie Healy had it by the truckload.’ Aimed at a reading public eagerly pursuing the private lives and antics of film stars and so- called celebrities, these bare facts fail to explain how I, and many of my generation, became interested in radical theatre and socialist ideas. The effect of war on my father and his generation and the death of my first husband in the Second World War left indelible marks. A fear of unemployment and poverty and the need for a peaceful and just society has never left me. We were the children of the depression of the 1930s that had its impact on every aspect of Australian life. It was a period of intense cultural activity and amateur theatre groups flourished in all major towns many producing serious dramas focussing on contemporary social problems. The New Theatre movement was very much a product of these times. My two sisters joined Unity Theatre and after I left school I worked in the Commonwealth bank and acted in Unity Theatre in my spare time. Women led the way, writing books, poetry and plays of some distinction.

Australia and Vietnam War—A Select Bibliography. Jeff Doyle and Jeffrey Grey Introduction In keeping with the wide range of concerns of the essays in this volume the bibliography has attempted to cover as many “subject headings” as seemed possible. Thus while the title “Select Bibliography” suggests that the compilers have collected only the major “texts” of concern, the following lists are an attempt to be as complete as possible at the time of final compilation. “Select” is meant to convey the fact that the editors are certain (most likely the only certainty prevailing in scholarly life) that the lists are not complete. This incompletion applies to some areas more than to others. Newspapers and the general daily print media, and their radio and television equivalent news industries are the chief areas of extreme selection.

Errol Bray and Howard Stanley conducted interviews on my behalf and helped to place at the centre of this study a set of authentic voices from the theatre of this period. Jan Wawrzyhczak kindly allowed me to use the transcripts of interviews he had made with former members of the APG. All those interviewed gave their valuable time, and trusted me with their recollections. I thank you all. Geoffrey Milne also kindly sent me some notes on La Mama. For help in directing me towards original documentation my thanks go to Paul Bentley and the staff at the Dennis Wolanski Library and to Frank Van Straten and Sally Fisher at the Victorian Performing Arts Museum, to Tony Marshall at the LaTrobe Library and to Francis Love at the Australia Council Library.
