Table of ContentsReviews'Everyone working in the performing arts in Australia, or hoping to, should read this book. Stephen Carleton and Chris Hay have combined to produce vivid snapshots of the Australian stage from 2007 to 2020: a long but radical decade when the voices of new playwrights and creations of new directors and performers moved from the margins to the mainstage and changed our theatre forever.' Richard Fotheringham, Emeritus Professor of Theatre History, University of Queensland, Australia. 'This vibrant investigation of recent mainstage drama in Australia is ingeniously structured to provide detailed interpretation of playwriting from 2007 until 2020, with extended, highly illuminating conversations between key playwrights embedded in each chapter. The major preoccupations and challenges of the nation are explored in this compelling study. This is a text for anyone interested in Australian theatre and its seismic shifts in recent times, which offers invaluable reading for students, practitioners and scholars.' Professor Anne Pender, Kidman Chair in Australian Studies, University of Adelaide, Australia. Author InformationChris Hay is Professor of Drama at Flinders University in South Australia.
