Dead White Males 2010
| by David Williamson | |
| Directed by Tom Massey | |
| Genesian Theatre 3rd Jul – 7th Aug 2010 | |
| “Opening with a literal depiction of Roland Barthes Death of the Author, Dead White Males positions itself with a bang! as David Williamson’s entry into the debate on literary theory which came to a head in the mid 1990’s. Dead White Males brings us into the life of Angela, a young woman trying to find her place in the world. Her studies at uni open up new intellectual horizons, and the possibility of new relationships. Will Shakespeare or Sartre, Dickens or Derrida, finally claim her heart? This delicious satire of literary theory goes beyond the university walls, bringing us a touching study into three generations of an Australian family, all depicted by Williamson with his usual wisdom and wit.” |  |
