Selected Writings of Rex Cramphorn
Ian Maxwell (Editor)
‘Without access to history the growth of our theatre is inhibited. For while an absence of tradition can be liberating, it can also be wasteful as each generation earnestly sets out about re-inventing the wheel.’ Jim Sharman
Rex Cramphorn was one of the key theatre practitioners to come out of the renaissance of Australian theatre in the 1960s and ‘70s. When Cramphorn died in 1991 at the age of 50, he left a legacy of theatre productions, research and ideas, that have influenced his own and subsequent generations of Australian theatre artists.
In
A Raffish Experiment, Ian Maxwell presents an eclectic collection of Rex Cramphorn’s writing, including theatre reviews for the Bulletin and the Sunday Australian, self-assessments, production diaries, essays and proposals, working notes for actors and selections from surviving correspondence.
Each chapter is framed by a short essay contextualising the material biographically, historically and culturally. The collection offers not only valuable—and unique—insights into a significant theatre practitioner as he wrestled with his craft, but a contribution to the historiography of Australian theatre, from a practitioner’s point of view, through a formative period of that history.
With a preface by David Malouf.

A Collection of Four Plays: Home, The Bridge, The Yum Yum Room, Crowded House
PP Cranney et al
‘I wish we had somewhere we could go just together… don’t
you?’
– Annabelle in
The Yum Yum Room
Four plays that look at our need
to have a special place, introduced by Kate Mulvany.
PP Cranney takes three perspectives in his compelling play
Home
as he pits suburban trivialities against
the lives of the homeless, and the hardships of two young refugees separated
from their family.
Stephen House looks at issues of trust, vulnerability and
ritual in
The Yum Yum Room
. 17-year-old Tom
wants to be a DJ, his dad would prefer that he finished school and stopped
smoking dope. This gentle script explores tough issues with tenderness and
humour.
John Romeril takes the search for security into a future
dystopia where, in a terrifying twist on survival of the fittest, the young are
hunted in the streets.
Crowded House
is an imaginative and gripping drama in which home is wherever you can
hide, and wherever camaraderie can be found.
The Bridge
, just out of
town, is a sanctuary for a group of young people until one suicides and
shatters the small community. Chris Thompson’s moving play explores the search
for belonging during the transition from adolescence to autonomy.
‘The four playwrights… [have] taken the notions of home,
refuge and love and woven them into four important stories.’ Kate Mulvany.

David Williamson
‘Funny... involving… tender emotion, and the issue - getting on with in-laws when your kids marry is a real one for those of his audience who have been following him for 40 years...’
The Australian
(Let the Sunshine)
Scarlett is a 36-year-old waitress who lives with her mother, has no boyfriend, and spends too much time watching old romantic movies. In her working hours she re-runs the scenes from the films with her co-worker Gordon, the gay kitchen hand in the restaurant. As Scarlett drifts deeper into her reveries of Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Errol Flynn and Humphrey Bogart, she takes her place as the heroine in each of their movies.
Let the Sunshine asks what happens when people of widely different political views are forced to co-exist. Toby, a maker of hard-hitting documentaries, flees Sydney with his wife after a blow up with the press. He arrives at his old childhood haven only to find the simple town has been transformed into a playground for the wealthy and his old friend has become married to a wealthy property developer. Add the couple’s two incompatible offspring, a struggling musician and a ruthless corporate
lawyer, and the scene is set for a vintage Williamson comedy.

Over three years, Australia's new writing theatre, Griffin Theatre Company, presented fourteen unique short plays across its mainstage seasons. Seen for one night only,
The Fates, Seasons and The Seven Needs were three play-cycles provoked by the classical mythology of man's inescapable destiny, the seasonal patterns and Maslow's Pyramid of Human Needs.
Now, this eclectic and fascinating collaboration of ten-minute plays by some of the country's most established and emerging playwrights becomes
Short Circuit.

Thomas is nine and he’s started writing a book. His father says all important books are about God. Even so, Thomas writes down all the interesting things he sees that other people seem to ignore: tropical fish in the canal, a deluge of frogs, the Son of God popping in for a chat …
He also writes down his greatest determination: When I grow up, I’m going to be happy.
Featuring Jesus, the angels, the Bottombiter, the startling Mrs Van Amersfoort and a beautiful girl with a leather leg, this is a totally magical story about a child learning to act when faced with fear and wrong.
