A Dramatic Revival (1956-71)
A selection of plays from 15 years of British theatre. When Did You Last See My Mother? by CHRISTOPHER HAMPTON
An unusually outspoken piece when it was first presented on stage in 1968, Christopher Hampton's play is a subtle and highly dramatic study of the relationship of two young men who continually attempt to evade the sexual dimension of their friendship.
Narrator DENYS MCCARTHY Directed by ARCHIE CAMPBELL
(First broadcast in 1967)
'You can be opening batsman for Australia, but you cannot write Paradise Lost.'
In the mid-1960s, the idea of an Australian writing a book was, to quote Thomas Keneally, like that of a cat riding a bicycle. By the late 1970s however, the writings of David Williamson, Frank Moorhouse and Peter Carey were being seen as evidence of a literary renaissance down under. Writer and critic John Baxter, a refugee in the 1960s from the Philistinism of his fellow Australians, wonders whether there really has been a change down under and whether the bleak landscape of his native land can really produce literature that is anything but second-rate.
