The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Elliot, Stephan

Jeff is a pretty regular guy. A plumber in Sydney, he shares a house with his widowed dad. Harry likes a few beers and is actively looking for a permanent mate. But in this warm comedy, the extraordinary is contained in the relationship between father and son: Jeff is gay and Harry accepts and encourages his son's lifestyle with an enthusiasm that borders on meddlesome. For once, tolerance rather than intolerance, is the focus in a film about gay people.

The Sum of Us

Stevens, David

Lewis, a young, first-time director, is hired to direct a variety show as part of a therapeutic program at a state-run psychiatric institution. Whilst he's not exactly equipped for the job he's willing to give it a go - Lewis is drifting and needs some direction in his own life. What Lewis isn't prepared for is the enthusiasm one of the institution's less stable inmates, Roy, has for opera - especially Mozart. Lewis finds himself rehearsing an unlikely assortment of actors in a surely doomed production of Cosi Fan Tutti. The cast includes a pyromaniacal sociopath, a junkie, a knife-wielding romantic, a lithium-addicted pianist who hates Mozart, and a stuttering ex-lawyer who is extremely reluctant to take part. As the production lurches forward to it's uncertain conclusion, Lewis and the cast find companionship and the power of ideals as the world around and outside them proves both inconstant and rife with confusion.

Cosi the Screenplay

Nowra, Louis

Won the 1996 Camera D'Or at Cannes. Set in the forlorn Riverina town of Sunray, Love Serenade is the story of Vicki-Ann and Dimity Hurley, twenty-something sisters beset by the notion that somehow the world is passing them by. Idealistic Vicki-Ann in particular feels sharply the lamentable lack of decent boyfriend material in sleepy Sunray. Dimity has apparently given up on romance completely and shifted attention to her chief interest in life -- fish. So when Ken Sherry -- mid 40s, thrice divorced, ex-drivetime king of Brisbane radio -- arrives in town to take over the running of the tiny local radio station, the sisters respond by abandoning all sibling loyalty and launching into a stormy battle for his reptilian affections.

The authors in this volume are the precursors of an Australian theatre beginning to be heard in the post-war period, at a time when material prosperity was overshadowed by the threat of the Cold War, and Australians were increasingly daunted by the challenges of mass immigration, the Korean War and what came to be known as 'the cultural cringe'. These playwrights of the 1940s and 1950s made their own theatre.
