Daniel Keene

Better late than never: Australian dramatist Daniel Keene gets the full-on 30-minute radio documentary treatment in the 9 November edition of Artworks from ABC Radio National. In an interview with presenter Amanda Smith, Keene discusses his position as a playwright whose work is seemingly more at home in the theatres of Paris than those of Melbourne or Sydney, and in Paris, Rhiannon Brown talks to the translator of Keene's plays, Severine Magois. I wrote about Terminus and Other Plays, a collection of Keene's work, in 2005 here.

Process Online

Starting today at 10.00am and continuing every Wednesday through the opening on 5 February 2009, rehearsals for Richard Foreman and John Zorn's Astronome: A Night at the Opera, the spring production at the Ontological-Hysteric Theatre, can be seen live on-line through the good offices of free103point9 Transmission Arts. It's a unique offering from two unique theatre and music artists (three, if you include the fine work that free103point9 is doing); watch Foreman, his cast and his crew create a new work before your very eyes. You want the theatrical process available through the Internet, you've got it.
