    Alex Buzo and David Williamson are two Australian playwrights who have encapsulated what it is to be Australian through Norm and Ahmed and The Removalists respectively. Through their command of dramatic styles and conventions they have effectively presented images onstage which challenge the Australian identity and the ideals which are synonymous with the Australian persona. Black comedy and heightened realism along with the theatrical conventions of character, language, movement and lighting are all imperative in the creation of the playwright’s image and its overall effect on the audience. The presentation of the ‘ocker Australian’ character is of great importance in strengthening the characters who in turn lend weight to the overall effect…

According to Bonnett et al Thatcherism has many alternative definitions but put simply it is a group of “policies pursued by the Conservative Party under Thatcher” (Bonnett et al. 1989, p.5). These policies are mostly concerned with the economic welfare of the upper class and individual achievement within society.

    Broadway Musical Analysis

    When professor mentioned that we would watch and discuss about a Broadway Musical show named ‘Memphis’, the first that came to my mind was, the actual city Memphis in the southern state of Tennessee. I was still confused as to how a city and its activities could be incorporated into a Musical show, which is assumed to be entertaining with melodramatic components, dance and music. I had an assumption that it would be academic, political, boring since it is to be watched in a classroom setting and that a professor would not choose something entertaining or something of the liking of the younger generation. I deduced that this play might touch the topic of race since race defined how a person is treated in most southern states. I assumed that…

    Contemporary Australian Theatre playwrights use their plays as a way of exploring the social concerns within society using various techniques and conventions. These dramatic techniques and conventions used alongside the elements of drama help to convey ideas that not only entertain but also engage the audience by evoking their emotions as they find themselves dragged into the characters worlds. The two contemporary Australian plays we had studied in class ‘Fearless’ by Mirra Todd and ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ by Lally Katz, provided us with examples of how the directional choices within this theatre style can create an engaging experience for Australian audiences, but universal audiences. By exploring social concerns in these plays such as mental…

    Through deliberate selection of the medium of production, composers are able to offer and emphasise their own perspectives on politics. This is evident in Aldous Huxley’s dystopian prose-fiction novel, Brave New World (1932), and Bruce Dawe’s poem, ‘Enter Without So Much as Knocking’ (1959). Both texts capture the composers’ own political ideologies and caution readers of governments that abuse technology to manufacture a consumeristic, groupthink culture. Composer’s criticise government bodies which use science and technology to control citizens and engineer conformity. In Aldous Huxley’s cautionary tale, a significant event that highlights Huxley’s concerns for technological advancement is the tour with the “Director of Hatcheries” (DHC),…

    Throughout Thornton Wilder's play “Our Town” he showcases different aspect he adds to his plays and the various theme's he incorporates into them as well. Such of these aspects is how Wilder created this play by simply using the Stage Manager to not only narrate the play, but also a way to make much like an ordinary citizen of Grover’s Corner. Finally Wilder created different themes throughout his play each theme was to match it’s own act such as life, love and ending with death as the final act. This essay will focus on the way Widler created the Stage Manager to not only narrate and communicate with the audience, but also become a part of the play itself.

    Harold Pinter Influences

    Pinter’s mind was occupied by a room, a territorial space and power relations which is clearly manifested in his short prose-poem Kullus written at home in 1948. This sense of enclosed room and territorial battle, according to Billington is in association with “Fascist thugs in post-war Hackney” (27) where Pinter and his comrades used to clash with hooligans for survival. (No editing required) Pinter’s acute sense of imagination was flourished in poetry, many of which he composed during this period were strongly under the influence of Dylan Thomas. Although Pinter’s poetry was self-consciously attached to Dylan Thomas, a strong influence of Yeats, Elliot and Synge on his poetry cannot be ignored.…

    With Rent which focuses heavily on AIDS and how to live with or love with it, we find the main character disease free and alone but many of the secondary characters are suffering from it and learning how to deal. The Accidental Death of an Anarchist does a similar thing; this play deals with possible corruption within the police force as well as the events surrounding the Italian railway in 1969. But instead of making the main character either a corrupt policeman or Pinelli the anarchist himself, they have the main character be a mischievous fraud who happens to be arrested at the time of these events. This tactic allows the main character to act as a barrier between the action so the audience does not feel personally attacked while also giving them a window into the issues. Political theater is everywhere and presents itself in many different ways.…
