Title Classic-ing on the Australian mainstage: The place and phenomenon of classic in Australian mainstream theatre 1995 – 2016

Abstract/Description An accepted understanding of a classic play involves its repetition and critical recognition over time. A classic prevails in its relevance, speaking to audiences in the past, in the present and in the future. Interpretation may change the emphasis of the play, and this may be amplified through historical comparison so that each production is seen as cumulatively reassessing the play’s meaning. Consequently, the notion of classic occupies a category that is both settled and revisable.
