LEONARD RADIC

Leonard Radic

Leonard Radic (1935-2018) was an Australian writer, known primarily as a theatre critic but he was in fact a journalist who wrote editorials, columns, feature articles and book reviews for The Age, a Melbourne daily newspaper publishing at a time when it was seen as left-wing and politically influential. He was also a playwright and author of two books on the Australian theatre, The state of play : the revolution in the Australian theatre since the 1960s (Penguin 1991) and Contemporary Australian Drama (Brandl & Schlesinger, 2006 ). In the cultural debate on national identity that raised the consciousness of his generation, he played a not inconsiderable role.

ORDEAL BY FIRE by Leonard Radic

We acknowledge that we live and create on unceded lands. We pay our respects to the First Peoples of Australia, and to their elders past, present and future.
