Peter Ward delivers a rich and intimate chronicle of one of Australias most distinguished theatre institutions. Beginning with the companys origins as a modest arm of the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust and tracing its evolution over a quarter-century, Ward guides us through the creative triumphs, the cultural shifts, and the community roots that defined the journey of the State Theatre Company of South Australia. Drawing on his decades-long engagement as journalist, critic and adviser to the company, Ward intertwines archival photographs, behind-the-scenes narratives and reflections on Adelaides changing cultural landscape to offer not just a history of a theatre company, but a portrait of a city and its arts in motion. For lovers of theatre, cultural history and Australian storytelling, this is a compelling testament to what happens when passion, place and performance converge.
