A Yard of Sun review in verse by Christopher Fry
A critical survey of Christopher Fry s play A Yard of Sun from Oxford noting Fry s absence from the theatre since 1962 and his re entry with a work that returns to early verse style. The piece contrasts Fry s poetic drama with post war trends and evaluates the play s schematic plot, character focus, and off stage denouement amid a crowd driven revival setting.

My Mask and Reminiscences of Norman Lindsay
A fragmentary review notes that Norman Lindsay remains a controversial figure in Australian culture as his memoirs My Music and a Book Week tribute prompt reassessment. The text comments on Lindsay’s self-critique, the manuscript’s fate since 1957, and the mixed reception likely to follow his late-life reminiscences. The piece touches on themes of memory, national tradition, and the Palio festival setting in Siena.
