The convict theatres of early Australia, 1788-1840

Robert Jordan

About this book

The first 40 years of European theatre in Australia have never until now been the subject of intensive inquiry. The author brings to life the shadowy figures that created the colony's first entertainment. These theatres were actually the intitiative of the convicts, and turned into a huge social battleground against authority.
