22 episode first season of the animated version of Gene
Roddenberry's seminal sci-fi series. In 1973, at the peak of the
original series' success, Roddenberry made an animated version of
Star Trek for NBC featuring the voices of nearly all of the
original cast members. Here, the entire series is re-mastered with
updated audio quality.
The late 1960s were among the most tumultuous years in recent
history. Student revolution spread like wildfire around the world
as the past-war generation came to adulthood. In Australia protests
against the Vietnam War were mixed with rebellious new political
awareness. The plays in this volume reflect the radicalism in
public and private life which that period has come to represent.
Each of these works played a significant part in advancing the
horizons of the Australian stage. Included in this volume are:
Rodney Milgate's A Refined Look at Existence, an ironical comedy
drama set in a NSW country town, which reworks Euripides' 'The
Bacchae' (3 acts, 9 men, 3 women); Bill Reed's Burke's Company, a
study of the explorer Robert O'Hara Burke and his life and death
struggle with the Central Australian desert (2 acts, 9 men); Alex
Buzo's The Front Room Boys, a seasonal satire set in a government
office (1 act, 7 men, 2 women); and Chicago Chicago by John
Romeril, a surreal attack on political exploration set against the
1968 Chicago Democrat Convention (1 act, 19 men, 5 women --
doubling possible).

Welcome to the Free Zone is a vivid and dark humoured novel based
on the true story of Nathalie and Ladislas Gara, Jews fleeing Nazi
occupation during the Second World War, translated from the
original French (St Boniface et ses Juifs). In 1942, several Jewish
families have washed up in the sleepy French town of Saint-Boniface
in the Ardeche. Lodged in guest houses and rented farmhouses, they
are attempting to carve out new lives for themselves among the
folded hills and isolated farmsteads. Battling against the
bureaucracy and paperwork of Vichy-France and the spectre of the
Germans closing in on the Free Zone, the families struggle to get
used to the local ways, just as the locals struggle to accept them.
From the non-existent toilets and lack of electricity to black
market dealings and the self-serving, sadistic gendarme, life in
Saint-Boniface is challenging and spirited. Nathalie and Ladislas
Gara, take on the role of the Veres family in the book. Originally
published in 1946 this new translation will revive this
extraordinary tale.
