Paperback. Condition: New. Macauley is a swagman earning his keep by prize-fighting his way across the country. Far away in Sydney's Kings Cross, his almost ten-year-old daughter Buster lives with her lonely mother Marge, who is struggling to make ends meet. When Macauley returns home one night to find Marge in bed with another man, and Buster drunk on sherry, he throws Buster over his shoulder and takes her into his unforgiving lifestyle as a swagman on the open road. Encountering the land's custodians, settlers, drifters and authorities on their travels in search of work, Buster begins to understand not only the complexity of Australia but also of her father Macauley. In return, Mac learns about his daughter and her own place in the world-a father and child walking together under a vast Southern sky. Tenderly adapted from D'Arcy Niland's historic novel, award-winning playwright, actress and screenwriter Kate Mulvany returns with the same storytelling mastery that charmed us in her adaptations of The Harp in the South and Playing Beatie Bow.

One that has now, surely, become an Australian classic play.'- The Scoop AU.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Two powerful women, beloved by their people-one sits on the throne; the other is locked in a cell. Kate Mulvany's smart and witty adaptation of Friedrich Schiller's Mary Stuart is a tale of two queens at war. In the legendary rivalry between Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart, great forces are at play, with nations at stake and citizens ready to fight for the just cause. On the one hand there is principle and ideology; on the other, jealousy and pride. But there is also love. For who else could understand what torments a queen better than another queen? Mulvany turns her feminist lens on this brutal and moving story of cousins pitted against each other by politics and circumstance, trapped on different sides of history's coin. 'Mary Stuart, in a new adaptation by Kate Mulvany . offers a different kind of catharsis: the act of reclaiming women's stories with empathy, insight and, crucially, by allowing women of the past to finally have a voice.'- Time Out Sydney. …
