    INTRODUCTION i DAVID WILLIAMSON’s first full-length play, The Coming of Stork, premiered at the La Mama Theatre, Carlton, in 1970 and later became the film Stork, directed by Tim Burstall. The Removalists and Don’s Party followed in 1971, then Jugglers Three (1972), What If You Died Tomorrow? (1973), The Department (1975), A Handful of Friends (1976), The Club (1977) and Travelling North (1979). In 1972 The Removalists won the Australian Writers’ Guild AWGIE Award for best stage play and the best script in any medium and the British production saw Williamson nominated most promising playwright by the London Evening Standard. The 1980s saw his success continue with Celluloid Heroes (1980), The Perfectionist (1982), Sons of Cain (1985), Emerald City (1987) and Top Silk (1989); whilst the 1990s produced Siren (1990), Money and Friends (1991), Brilliant Lies (1993), Sanctuary (1994), Dead White Males (1995), Heretic (1996), Third World Blues (an adaptation of Jugglers Three) and After the Ball (both in 1997), and Corporate Vibes and Face to Face (both in 1999). The Great Man (2000), Up for Grabs, A Conversation, Charitable Intent (all in 2001), Soulmates (2002) and Birthrights (2003) have since followed. Williamson is widely recognised as Australia’s most successful playwright and over the last thirty years his plays have been performed throughout Australia and produced in Britain, United States, Canada and many European countries. A number of his stage works have been adapted for the screen, including The Removalists, Don’s Party, The Club, Travelling North, Emerald City, Sanctuary and Brilliant Lies. David Williamson has won the Australian Film Institute film script award for Petersen (1974), Don’s Party (1976), Gallipoli (1981) and Travelling North (1987) and has won eleven Australian Writers’ Guild AWGIE Awards.

    Sydney, Not the Bush PETER CONRAD n 1930 the photographer E.O. Hoppe came to Australia, where he spent ten months taking pictures for a volume entitled The Fift h Continent. Though he conscientiously documented the bush, and lined up the so-called 'wild men' to composeI a 'dusky background' for his images, he expected more of Australia than eroded plains, mozzy-ridden jungles and lunar deserts. 'The spiritual home of the white races', he declared, 'is naturally in the cities built up by their vigour and vision'. Had Australians constructed that white, shining, spiritual citadel? Hoppe was not sure. He considered urbane Melbourne virtually Bostonian, but in Canberra he thought that the government buildings and the lamp-posts looked as if they still had price-tags on them. In Sydney, the prodigality of nature blinded him, mercifully perhaps, to the defects of culture. The city was synony­ mous with its harbour, which is actually a negation of the city, a dazzling empti­ ness at its centre; and around the fo reshore, Hoppe saw only verdure, not signs of vigorous, visionary human effort. He called Ta ronga 'the happiest Zoo in the world', because 'its boundaries come right to the ocean-edge and make a natural home for water-loving denizens of the animal world', while across the harbour lay the Botanic Gardens, 'Mecca of typists in the lunch-hour'. The typists, like those wa­ ter-loving denizens, could be considered fauna, nibbling their sandwiches among the flora. The gardens for them were Mecca, a place of pagan worship. Where, however, was the spiritual home of the white races? At the time, the question was fair enough, and in a way it still is, though of course we tactfully rephrase it.

  • David Williamson
    'The Ways We Live Now' David Williamson Australia has always seemed a very crude society, and this play explains better than most why so many Australians of talent chose to live in Britain and America ... If this is Australia, the Aborigines should have won. So opined English-born Clive Barnes in January 1974, reviewing an Off-Broadway production of David Williamson's The Removalists for the New York Times. Barnes had already seen London's Royal Court production (in July-August 1973) of this play which, first performed in Melbourne and Sydney 'alternative' theatres two years before, had quickly won its young writer a national reputation. By the time Barnes reviewed the play, that reputation was becoming international, for at the end of 1973 Williamson had won the London Evening Standard's George Devine Award for Most Promising Playwright. Barnes's assumption that a play, realist (though also absurdist) in mode, mirrored a whole society, or reflected the perceiver's stereotyped impressions of that society, had not been shared by this London counterparts. Although Harold Hobson of the Sunday Times felt that the play was evil, pandering to the audience's worst instincts by offering scenes of violence that (curiously) he thought belonged more in the brothel than on the stage, other London reviewers had been more receptive to this black comedy of machismo run riot, in which two policeman meddle in a domestic dispute and end up bashing the husband to death. Most of them saw the play as a psychological-cum-moral fable with implications extending far beyond the particulars of its Australian setting and the issue of police violence.

Not all the companies, however, lived up to the audience's expectations; the comedians were not always brilliant and witty, the girls weren't always beautiful. This pr'oved to be Ralph Allen's inspiration for SUGAR BABIES. "During the course of my research, one question kept recurring. Why not create a quintessen­ tial Burlesque Show out of authentic materials - a show of shows as I have played it so often in the theatre of my mind? After all, in a theatre of the mind, nothing ever disappoints. " After running for seven years in America - both in New York and on tour - the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust will mount SUGAR BABIES in Australia, opening in Sydney at Her Majesty's Theatre on October 30. In February it will move to Melbourne and other cities, including Adelaide, Perth and Auckland. The tour is expected to last about 39 weeks. Eddie Bracken, who is coming from the USA to star in the role of 1st comic in SUGAR BABlES, received rave reviews from critics in the USA. "Bracken, with his rolling eyes, rubber face and delightful slow burns, is the consummate performer, " said Jim Arpy in the Quad City Times. Since his debut in 1931 on Broadway, Bracken has appeared in Sugar Babies from the original New York production countless movies and stage shows.
