Summary
"This study looks at plays as they are produced in the theatre and masculinity as it is enacted on the stage. It ranges from often-produced plays of the 1950s to successful contemporary plays - from Dick Diamond's Reedy River, Ray Lawler's Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, Richard Beynon's The Shifting Heart and Alan Seymour's The One Day of the Year to David Williamson's Sons of Cain, Richard Barrett's The Heartbreak Kid, Gordon Graham's The Boys and Nick Enright's Blackrock." "The book is written in an accessible style for interested readers and students and drama teachers at university and senior high school. The book's contribution to contemporary debates about masculinity will interest scholars in gender, race and sexuality studies, literary studies and Australian history."--BOOK JACKET.
