Paperback. Etat : Good. Squatter takes place in and around the estate of Carnegie, on the Canterbury Plains, in 1894. It is a time of change. The new middle class is in the ascendancy; the Liberal government is attempting to force the breakup into smaller farms of the large feudal estates . . . But Squatter is not like most historical plays. Evading the limits of conventional stage naturalism, it is a rich mix of theatrical spectacle, larger than life characters and vivid, deliberately anachronistic language which will entertain and provoke. 'A great raw brute of a play which grabs our colonial past by the scruff of the neck and gives it a hefty boot in the pants.' -Peter Calder, New Zealand Herald.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 367 pages. The sense of New Zealanders as a nation of do-it-yourselfers pervades every s ector of society, and the arts are no exception says David O?Donnell in his in troduction.Throughout New Zealand?s relatively short theatrical history there are countless examples of theatre practitioners with inadequate resources and funding applying a DIY approach to theatre production. This volume celebrat es the No. 8 wire approach to playwriting and production by showcasing eight sho rt plays over eight decades, from the amateur theatre groups of the 1930s to the professional fringe of the 21st century.Violet Targuse and Isobel Andrew s represent the long period in the mid-20th century where the theatrical torch w as kept burning by amateur societies rather than professional companies. Often t hese amateur groups were run by women, particularly during the war years when mo st able-bodied men were on overseas service. The female orientation of the amate ur groups is re?ected in the themes of Rabbits and The Willing Horse, both of which focus on women?s issues in New Zealand society, though in contrasting wa ys.When the modern professional era began in the 1960s and 1970s, Robert Lord was a key ?gure, both as a playwright and as one of the founders of Playm arket. His Balance of Payments represents the anarchic, satiric spirit of that e ra as playwrights became more con?dent in critiquing aspects of the Kiwi chara cter.Among the many voices to emerge in the 1980s and 1990s, Stuart Hoar and Fiona Samuel stood out for their freshness and originality, demonstrated by the playful postmodernism of Scott of the Antarctic and the vibrant characterisa tions in One Flesh.As devised theatre became more popular around the turn.…
