According to contemporary news reports, the radio play 'took for its subject the love of King David for his son Absolom.'
The same reporter noted that 'Research revealed that the story was taken straight from the Biblical text, so that no flights of imagination were necessary and the author had only to concentrate on the dialogue. Even a great deal of this was provided by the Book of Samuel.'

'The play is about a diverse group of friends who go camping together every Christmas/New Year on Stradbroke Island. However, this year, the Bicentennial year, things go riotously out of kilter : it begins to rain and doesn't let up for days! The creek rises and cuts them off from civilisation ... the holiday now becomes a struggle for survival!
Friendships are strained, belongings are soggy, food becomes scarce. Relationships are stripped to the bone! The vigorous games of 'Bastard Ball' are replaced by the dividing up of the last sardine and the spelling out of S.O.S on the beach in XXXX empties!
The play is about migration within Australia—the annual Christmas trek. It's about playing games and having fun. It's about relationships that extend beyond family, and about the strain on those bonds when the food runs out!' Source: www.theatreworks.org.au/ (Sighted 08/10/2010).

A radio play exploring the introduction of Percy Bysshe Shelley into the Godwin household c. 1812.
Fanny Imlay was one of Godwin's two stepdaughters, the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft and Gilbert Imlay.

1940
single work
radio play
musical theatre
A musical version of George Landen Dann's play of the same name, with the score written by Sydney-based composer Gerry Cole. Set in the Australian outback the narrative concerns Aboriginal rights and ideals, particularly with regard to the production of a corroboree. Matters such as assimilation, politics and ideology and race relations are questioned. Although the work was broadcast on radio there is no record of it ever having been produced on the stage. Theatre historian and friend of Dann, Leslie Rees, wrote in 1958 that he often thought about 'having a go at this musical but it would be hard to make any players other than true aborigines [sic] seem convincing' (qtd Queensland Theatre Company programme, 2000, p9). An unpublished manuscript is held in the Eunice Hanger Collection of the Fryer Library (The University of Queensland).

Clem and Carla are adamant that they will never bring a child into a world ravaged by war—a world where cancer tragically takes people’s lives. They see senseless death all around them.

However, in this mysterious, fantastical place, they will find themselves in the company of a young man and an elderly spinster who will change their lives forever.
A fantasy drama, described in contemporary newspapers as 'Locale midway between life and death; characters, the unborn, the living, and the dead; moral — boosting the birthrate.'

Bob Squires, a convict on the run, stumbles into the newly established township of Port Essington, which is crumbling under the effects of fatigue, disease, and madness.

A naval vessel eventually arrives with orders to evacuate the settlement and destroy the fort to prevent it from falling into the hands of a possible enemy. Squires remains behind with a half-witted girl, Pretty Polly.
