Billy
Set in the New South Wales penal colony in the 1820s, 'Billy' focuses on seven middle-class English men and women - their fears, hopes and uncertainties in the new land they find themselves in. At the centre of the drama is Billy, a deaf-mute Aboriginal servant. The object of fear, derision and also affection, it is Billy who receives the secrets of his masters.
Post-Colonial Drama
Post-Colonial Drama is the first full-length study to address the ways in which performance has been instrumental in resisting the continuing effects of imperialism. It brings to bear the latest theoretical approaches from post-colonial and performance studies to a range of plays from Australia, Africa, Canada, New Zealand, the Caribbean and other former colonial regions. Some of the major topics discussed in Post-Colonial Drama include: * the interactions of post-colonial and performance theories * the post-colonial re-stagings of language and history * the specific enactments of ritual and carnival * the theatrical citations of the post-colonial body Post-Colonial Drama combines a rich intersection of theoretical approaches with close attention to a wide range of performance texts.
