We of the Never-Never, penned by Jeannie Gunn under the pseudonym Mrs Aeneas Gunn, is a celebrated classic of Australian literature. This semi-autobiographical novel draws from the authors own adventures as she settled on Elsey Station in the remote Katherine region of the Northern Territories during the early 20th century. While the story is presented as fiction, Gunn cleverly alters the names of the real individuals from her past, introducing readers to colorful characters like the Sanguine Scott, the Fizzer, and the Dandy. Following their marriage, Jeannie and her husband Aeneas, affectionately known as the Maluka, ventured to Darwin before managing the Elsey Cattle Station. The prospect of a white woman in the rugged outback stirred controversy, yet Jeannie’s resilience shone through as she embraced the challenges ahead. This tale unfolds as a rural romance, rich with poetic descriptions of the Elseys breathtaking landscapes. Set between 1902 and 1903, We of the Never-Never not only captures the essence of life on the station but also reflects the complex attitudes of the time, including troubling depictions of Aboriginal people and their treatment—particularly in the later chapters, which reveal the harsh realities of that era. (Introduction by Gail Timmerman-Vaughan)

Published in 1766, The Vicar of Wakefield is Oliver Goldsmiths only novel, crafted at a time when personal circumstances shaped creativity.

This heartwarming tale follows the life of Dr. Primrose, a compassionate vicar, and his family as they navigate the turbulent tides of fortune, ultimately finding their way back to grace.

Tragical History of Doctor Faustus

No play in William Shakespeares oeuvre is as polarizing as his first tragedy, Titus Andronicus. This harrowing tale follows the titular Roman general, who returns home after a brutal decade-long campaign against the Goths, only to reject the emperorship and ignite a horrific cycle of vengeance. When Titus orders the execution of Tamora, Queen of the Goths eldest son, he sets off a chain reaction of violence that spirals into a nightmarish symphony of bloodshed and retribution, as both Titus and Tamora are engulfed in their own tragic flaws. Shakespeare skillfully draws on the revenge tragedy tradition exemplified by contemporaries like Thomas Kyd and Christopher Marlowe, delivering a spectacle that has fascinated and horrified audiences for centuries. Whether you align with critics like T.S. Eliot, who deemed it one of the stupidest and most uninspired plays ever written, or artists like Julie Taymor, who believes it to be the most relevant of Shakespeares plays for the modern era, one thing is certain Titus Andronicus provokes visceral and complex reactions that only a masterful mind can evoke. Join our talented cast—three men (Craig Franklin, Tomas Peter, and Brad “Hamlet” Filippone) and three women (Sonia, Jenn Broda, and Kelly S. Taylor)—as they bring this controversial work to life in a performance that promises to be unforgettable. Think you know Shakespeare? Think again! - Summary by Tomas Peter
