Ray Lawler and 'The Doll' forever changed Australian theatre
Manage episode 432683384 series 2902224
The Australian playwright Ray Lawler has died at the age of 103. Lawler wrote Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, which spurred a growing movement of artists telling Australian stories in Australian voices on the mainstage. To pay tribute to Ray Lawler, we're joined by theatre legends Robyn Nevin and Neil Armfield and we hear interviews with Ray from the ABC archives.
Also, the musical Wicked will soon celebrate one year on stage in Australia. Ahead of their transfer to Brisbane, Sheridan Adams (Elphaba) and Courtney Monsma (Glinda) perform for us. And we meet two British actors who staged Hamlet in the ultra-violent and unpredictable video game world of Grand Theft Auto. A documentary about their efforts, Grand Theft Hamlet, is screening at this year's MIFF.
