Dimboola
by Jack Hibberd.
Last of the Knucklemen
by John Powers.

Penguin Books, Victoria, 1974.

Two scripts from Melbourne 1970s theatre conveniently packaged upside down.

The first professional production of Dimboola, set around a country wedding, pioneering the quirky oz caper, was first performed by the Australian Performing Group in April 1973. Last of the Knucklemen, about a group of violent, foul-mouthed miners as window on our culture, was first performed at the Melbourne Theatre Company November 1973. Both were later made into films.

Condition: Wear to cover but otherwise in very good condition.
