Combat Zone. "Third World Blues" by David Williamson. State Theatre Company [review]

Abstract

For an artist to return to a finished work and then revise it, is rarely a simple matter. So when, in 1997, David Williamson went back to his 1972 script "Jugglers Three" and reworked it, he again raised interesting questions about the creative process. In negotiation with Sydney Theatre Company director Wayne Harrison, Williamson not only overhauled the text of "Jugglers Three" he even re-instated its original, somewhat cryptic title, "Third World Blues".
