In \"The Australian Theatre,\" Paul McGuire and his collaborators provide a vivid \"abstract and brief chronicle\" of the performing arts in Australia, tracing its evolution from colonial beginnings to the mid-20th century.\n\nThis scholarly yet accessible work explores how the theatre reflected and shaped Australian society. Beyond just a list of plays and players, it examines the social impact of the stage, the challenges of distance and touring, and the unique character of Australian audiences. Featuring twelve characteristic illustrations that capture the visual spirit of various eras, this Oxford University Press volume is an essential resource for students of drama, historians, and anyone fascinated by the cultural heritage of the Australian limelight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48750369276123,"sku":"2026200005258-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8ed98bed-31a8-4ae6-8f01-4e079e0a072d.png?v=1778095367","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200005258-secondhand-the-australian-theatre-an-abstract-and-brief-chronicle-in-twelve-parts","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
