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).
