Writers From Tasmania
A writer is a person who uses written words in different writing styles and techniques to communicate ideas. Writers produce different forms of literary art and creative writing such as novels, short stories, books, poetry, travelogues, plays, screenplays, teleplays, songs, and essays as well as other reports and news articles that may be of interest to the general public. Writers' texts are published across a wide range of media. Skilled writers who are able to use language to express ideas well, often contribute significantly to the cultural content of a society. The term "writer" is also used elsewhere in the arts and music, such as songwriter or a screenwriter, but also a stand-alone "writer" typically refers to the creation of written language. Some writers work from an oral tradition. Writers can produce material across a number of genres, fictional or non-fictional. Other writers use multiple media such as graphics or illustration to enhance the communication of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Robbery Under Arms (play)
''Robbery Under Arms'' is a 1890 play by Alfred Dampier and Garnet Walch based on the Robbery Under Arms, novel of the same name by Rolf Boldrewood. History In 1889 Dampier secured the exclusive rights to prepare a dramatization of the Boldrewood novel. This was not an easy task, as the novel is mostly first person descriptive, with very little dialogue, and great sections had to be omitted, notably the opening chapter, in which "Captain Starlight" takes 2000 head of stolen cattle overland from country New South Wales to Adelaide. The play premiered on March 1, 1890, following Walch's dramatization of Victor Hugo's ''Count of Monte Cristo''. Opening night The play was staged on 1 March 1890 at the Alexandra Theatre, Melbourne, which Dampier had on a long lease. T. A. Browne and family were guests of honour in a stage box. The following were principal players that evening: *Alfred Dampier as Captain Starlight *Walter E. Baker as Dick Marston, his loyal lieutenant *Watkin Wynne ...

The Scout (play)
''The Scout'' is a melodrama by Alfred Dampier and Garnet Walch set in the American west. The play came about in part because of the success Dampier had with his production of ''The Miner's Right''. He decided to construct a play where he would feature W.F. Carver and his Wild America Troupe into a dramatic story. Carver would play himself and the production would feature a hughe water tank, 12 x 3 metres, featuring real ducks, Indians padding canoes and stunts involving horses.Katherine Brisbane, ''Entertaining Australia: An Illustrated History'' p 118 The original production starred Lily Dampier alongside Carver, and was a considerable success. ''The Trapper'' Dampier later reworked the play as ''The Trapper'' for Carver and Lily. Carver later performed ''The Scout'' in the USA, although it was not advertised as an Australian play. ''The Prairie King'' The play was also revived in 1895 as ''The Prairie King'' (with sole writing credit being given to Walch). References Extern ...
