'In this volume Anne Pender and Susan Lever present a set of essays and recollections about Nick Enright's work for students, teachers and scholars. The book offers a comprehensive study of Enright's writing for theatre, film and television. Scholars, acting teachers and theatre directors have contributed to this work each illuminating an aspect of Enright's remarkable career. The discussions cover interpretations of Enright's scripts and productions, detailed analysis of his directing style, substantial background and analysis of his writing for musicals, as well as accounts of his specific approach to acting and to adaptation across genres' (publisher blurb).

      'The aims of the series are:
      i) to contribute to the interpretation, critical analysis, promotion, and wider understanding of Australian drama in Australia and overseas;
      ii) to pursue a scholarly investigation through monographs which could include either an overview of a particular playwright and a critical analysis of his/her plays or a study of a grouping in drama and theatre including writers for performance within a unifying framework;
      iii) to illustrate and personalise the study of drama and theatre within Australia and overseas, especially for students.

      'Each monograph provides an in-depth study aimed at furthering knowledge of Australian drama and therefore Australian culture with reference to primary and secondary sources.'
