David Williamson's "Dead White Males"

David Williamson

Tom Massey

Season: 3rd July - 7th August 2010
Preview night 2nd July
Friday and Saturday nights at 8pm
Sunday matinée at 4.30pm

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.

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.

The Genesian Theatre would like to suggest Parental Guidance for this production. It contains brief coarse language and mild themes.

Philip Barry

Joy Sweeney

After getting a divorce from C.K. Dexter Haven, Tracy Lord prepares to marry again… however, in the days before her wedding, Haven and a reporter, posing as her brother’s friend, show up at her doorstep. From there, Tracy is forced to choose among her past love, her present love and her new love. Amidst the situation comedy, and fast-paced dialogue, Barry explores several contemporary social issues, such as society’s perception of class differences in America and attitudes towards adultery and divorce in the 1930’s.
