Season: 3rd July - 7th August 2010 Preview night 2nd July Friday and Saturday nights at 8pm Sunday matinée at 4.30pm Opening with a literal depiction of Roland Barthes Death of the Author, Dead White Males positions itself with a bang! as David Williamson's entry into the debate on literary theory which came to a head in the mid 1990's. This delicious satire of literary theory goes beyond the university walls, bringing us a touching study into three generations of an Australian family, all depicted by Williamson with his usual wisdom and wit. The Genesian Theatre would like to suggest Parental Guidance for this production. It contains brief coarse language and mild themes.
