Drama and theatre studies

Centre for Drama and Theatre Studies

Director: Associate Professor Peter Fitzpatrick

Graduate coordinator: Associate Professor Peter Fitzpatrick

Candidates in drama and theatre studies may enrol through the Department of English for the degrees of PhD and MA by research only. Supervision is available in a wide range of areas of study, but particular research interests of the centre include Australian theatre, past and present; postcolonial drama; performance theory, and the semiotics of rehearsal and performance; Asian theatre; and the theatre, textual and non-textual, of the cultures and periods reflected in the programs of departments in the faculty. These areas are supported by library resources which are in most cases very strong and in none less than adequate.

Prospective candidates are invited to discuss their proposed research with members of the centre at any time.
