About

New Zealand theatre is a concept easily recognised in the 1970s.

For New Zealand playwrights though, the fifty years before 1970 were an uphill struggle, often in the face of audiences who thought real plays came from abroad.

This fascinating story is told here for the first time. Peter Harcourt recaptures the atmosphere of each stage in the 'plot' using a great variety of contemporary photographs as well as anecdotes, incidents and memories recalled for him by those who took part. He also records the growth of the New Zealand Ballet and Opera companies, and the magnificent presentation of Green Are The Islands which won international praise for 'total theatre' at Expo 70 in Osaka.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and illustrations, decorated end papers.
