Australian Theatre
Australia’s theater history dates to long before European colonization, with Indigenous Australians using theater as a way to convey stories, culture, and knowledge. When the first European settlers arrived in the late 18th century, they brought with them British theatre traditions. The first Australian theatre performance was in 1789, with a full convict cast performing The Recruiting Officer by George Farquhar. This performance marked the beginning of a theatrical landscape in Australia.
