The most dramatic thing about Australian Theatre is it’s history.

For anyone who wants to know why making theatre in Australia seems so hard Dr Rob presents a whirlwind history of Australian Theatre from it’s beginnings to the present day. The story of theatre in Australia is filled with setbacks, triumphs and betrayals. It’s a history of class warfare, corporate greed, governmental incompetence and the indefatigable resilience of Australian artists. And some jokes, there’ll be some jokes too.
