THE AGE, Tuesday 26 July 1988 Arts Entertainment Edited by MICHAEL SHMITH 14 1 Ji a sites I Mi-A 4f 8" and poignancy, which sees the two actors wheel round one another In a stow and stylised dance of grief, ending on a note of high emotion with the grieving mother bent over the grave of her dead son, tearing at it with her pale hands and sobbing uncontrollably. In Sydney, the production had to be squeezed on to the tiny stage of the State Theatre, and looked totally out of place as a result The National is marginally more sympathetic, even if the wind, howling though the backstage area on Sunday afternoon, provided a percussion accompaniment all of its own. The two works themselves, brief though they may be, provide a tnntnifdng glimpse of a rich art form which, while it has no direct counterpart in the western world, is the source of much western experimentation in the theatre. Dinkum Assorted', a play about IS women working in a biscuit factory in an Australian country town during the war, has just opened at the Playhouse. ANNA MURDOCH interviews its author, Linda Aronson, and LEONARD RADIC reviews the production.

'Diinikiiiiiiii9 war of liberation for Australian women TINDA ARONSON, the Sydney play-. wrlght, was born in Britain about Interview ANNA MURDOCH hopefuls (Fiona Stewart and Sally Cooper) with dreams of taking the Sydney stage by storm. In more serious vein, there is young Millie (Anne Tenney) who succumbs to the charms of the Americans at the nearby base while her husband is "putting up his feet" in a PoW camp. There is also Joan (Janet Andrewartha), a deserted wife with airs and graces and fancy ways that set her apart from the other factory workers. Aronson weaves her themes and plots deftly, and with a good deal of humor.

The women begin as Individuals, each with her own stratagem for survival: but by the end of the play they have been welded into a team, symbolically represented by the rough-end-ready concert that they turn on for their Yank neighbors. The size of the cast and the complexity of the plot Inhibit any detailed exploration of character. The bossy and initially unsympathetic Connie (Doreen Warburton) is one of the few characters who alters in the course of the evening. However no one will object over-much to that For this is essentially a group work, and the group work is little short of brilliant Indeed, this is the real pleasure of the production: to see 15 dinkum and assorted women actors (among them Carole Skinner and Valerie Bader) working with such professionalism. The credit is also John Bell's.

From the moment the audience enters the theatre, to find a couple of the cast belting out Vera Lynn numbers on the piano while others hand out tea and biscuits to the audience, the signals are clear. This is a production designed for easy audience consumption. It is fast-paced, cheerfully extrovert and like Anne Phelan's air raid wardens drilled to within an inch of its life. It also has an authentic period look and feel about it You would have to be hard of heart not to enjoy it Exquisite display by Kabuki troupe isittjk i up there being strong but passive." At home the company's programs usually run for four hours or longer, and include either one extended work or four or five shorter ones. But for their Bicentenary tour the company is doing only two short but stylistically representative pieces: 'Sumidagawa', which the company also presented on its 1978 Australian tour, and an engaging dance drama, 'Renjishi' (or Two Lions').

Both are vehicle pieces, designed to show off the skills of the musicians (who include two Living National Treasures) as well as the performers, led by another Living National Treasure, Nakamura Utaemon VL As dedicated theatregoers will know, Kabuki is an art form remarkable for its showmanship and its unique mixture of mime, music and dance, as well as its gorgeous costuming and its visual appeal It grew out of Nob, which is purer, more spiritualised but an essentially hidebound form, while retaining many of its plots and characters. In Kabuki there is a strong emphasis on decor and display. One sees this in 'Renjishi' which is a simple tale of a father lion who pushes his cub lion over the edge of a ravine in order to teach it the lessons of courage and survival. When the young lion reappears there is a joyful dance of reunion. The performance takes place against the traditional Noh pine tree backdrop, with the kneeling singers and musicians providing a haunting accompaniment to the action.

While highly stylised, the dance drama allows for subtle touches of characterisation and the merest hint of humor. After an interlude, in which two men perform a butterfly dance, the two lions (Ichikawa Danjuro and Nakamura Fukusuke) return for their reunion dance, dressed spectacularly in sumptuous brocaded costumes with long flowing manes which they toss about with joyful abandon. The sheer extrovert nature of 'Renjishi' contrasts nicely with the slow-paced and highly internalised 'Sumidagawa'. Though technically a dance drama also, it has less action and more plot than 'Renjishi', being the story of a woman maddened by grief after her son is kidnapped by a slave trader. After searching in vain for him, she comes across a boatman who breaks the news of the boy's death to her, and takes her to his grave.

This onnagata (or female impersonation) role is one of Nakamura Utaemon's favorites, and he brings to it an exquisite sensibility. In the Noh version, emotion is kept at bay. But here we are presented with a frail figure, red-eyed and dropping with grief, who engages one's sympathy from the moment that she enters along the hanamichi, trailing a symbolic branch of bamboo uve years aiier wuiiu war ana grew up in the years when women in large numbers were forming their new freedom. At 12 she won a scholarship to the Trinity College of Music in London and later took a first in English literature at the New University of Ulster and worked on a doctorate at Oxford. It was during these student years that she earned some money as a tea-lady at the Bank of England printing works and saw "a dying breed of tea ladies with 24 trollies taking order of place.

They would go out in a great convoy twice a day. They were dragons, these women. All their energy was directed towards the most menial tasks. "But if you put a man in the middle of that scene they all started to revolve around him no matter how young he was because he had the potential to become senior. They would either tease him or defer to him.

The whole dynamics of the situation centred around the man. Their pecking order changed the minute he came on the scene." In 1985, Aronson heard a statistic which stimulated her to write her third play, 'Dinkum Assorted' it was that only 14 per cent of parts in Australian films were for women. "That included being ikies' molls. Women are usually up there being strong but passive." Dinkum Assorted', which has 15 diverse female roles, is set in a biscuit factory during World War in a mythical Australian town of Warrabadanga. Constructed with five plots filled with comedy, pathos and music, it is a study of a large and diverse group of women working together, of their animosities and friendships, and how the old and young treat one another.

To make the absence of men believable, Linda Aronson placed it during the this warm-hearted and engaging play for 15 female biscuit factory workers by Sydney writer Linda Aronson. Originally commissioned by the Sydney Theatre Company, it has gone through 10 drafts and several workshop sessions. Now, after a seven-week season at the Opera House, it comes to Melbourne as part of an exchange between the Melbourne and Sydney theatre companies. All this pre-production work and effort has paid off. For while the play itself is slight, it plays superbly well, thanks in no small measure to its director, John Bell, and his carefully chosen and talented cast 'Dinkum Assorted' takes its title from the brand of biscuits cooked up at a fictional factory in a small town out west from Sydney.

Being wartime 1942 to be precise the men are absent It is left to the women to stoke the boilers, to man the ovens, and to keep the wheels of industry ticking over. But their newfound freedom is short-lived. For the Government orders the factory's closure. The ovens and the assembly lines are wanted for scrap metal. The women's attempts to have the Government order rescinded forms the main plot-line of the play.

But there are others too some comic, some serious all of them involving, to one degree or another, questions of freedom and responsibility. There is, for example, the air raid squad magisterially presided over to great comic effect by Anne Phelan. There is a young and starstruck pair of Television IS AM. 7.30 The Cartoon Theatre LEONARD RADIC RtnjteN and Sumidaoawa, the Grand Kabuki Company (National Theatre, St Kiwa, iimy 28 July).

'Escape' team is back with picture to prove it war, when women gained an unprecedented power. "That time was a watershed for women. They only had that freedom for the war years and then they were expected to go back to their old roles. But there could be no turning back. "At that time, women didn't really think of themselves as having been deprived of Job opportunities.

I think that's a '70s feminist consciousness. There's a point in the play where one of the women says she could nave done the managing director's job if she had been a man. It was not said with bitterness, it was just a statement of fact' The dynamics of working women is a subject almost untouched in the theatre, she found. Her first draft of the play was shortlisted among 2000 plays in the Mobil International Play Competition in Britain. "A month later this battered play came back," she says.

"That was a terrific buzz." Ms Aronson took the cast of the Sydney production to the Arnott's biscuit factory where, despite the freedoms won and the computer revolution, they saw very much the same situation that Ms Aronson had seen years ago in Britain. "There's definitely a middle-class perception that women can do anything that men can do but it's not really happening in the factories," she says. "At the biscuit factory in Sydney, men and women are still doing the traditional roles. Often the bosses are just boys of 19 or 20." While researching the position of women during the war, Linda Aronson discovered that a lot of seemingly ordinary women had extraordinary things "without any great Her TeleScope BARBARA HOOKS the good life the bad lifer adds Evan Green), will pursue the more eccentric pleasures the world has to offer the traveller, while Roger Clarke, also a writer and film maker, will present gently-paced activities more suited to families. Between them, the presenters cover levels of activity requiring only time and money, a sense of adventure, suicidal tendencies; therefore, it's best enjoyed from the safety of the sofa.

Evan Green didn't keep a tally of the kilometres covered in the 13 editions of the series, although "we left an imprint on Europe and America like a spider web on a wall'. And that was on a nightmare budget which, at one point allowed the hosts only a one-way air fare there, but not back and a "Marx Brothers'' post-production facility hastily put together from Mart blankets. Making the transition from radio to television was different but not as difficult for Evan Green and Yolanta Novak as it was for their film-oriented crew. "With radio, it is so easy," he said. "You drag out a microphone and turn it on.

It's not as distracting or intimidating as a camera. But we wanted to retain that on-the-spot character, that intimacy and spontaneity, so it took a while for us and the crew to get to know each other."
