John Ellis writes: "Shirley Jacobs was a very popular folk singer and anti-Vietnam war activist. While she performed regularly for the prisoners at Pentridge she met and fell in love with Joey Hamilton, a long-term prisoner who blew the whistle on corrupt police and instigated the Beach Inquiry into the Victoria Police. Some 20-odd police were convicted of corruption but none ever served time. Shirley went on a hunger strike in an attempt to have Joey released from Pentridge."

The Irish plays of James Shirley, 1636-1640
No full textAlthough he was a prominent and influential playwright during his theatrical career,
the work of James Shirley (1596-1666) has been neglected since Dryden's description
of him in 'MacFlecknoe' as a mere 'type...of tautology'. Shirley holds a unique place
amongst Caroline dramatists as, at the height of his career, he left London to become
resident playwright of the first purpose-built theatre in Ireland, the Werburgh Street
Theatre. This seminal event has received fairly little attention from scholars, and the
plays of this Irish period (The Royal Master, The Doubtful Heir, The Gentleman of
Venice, The Politician and St. Patrick for Ireland) have not previously been examined
as a whole.
This thesis examines Shirley's Irish period in its entirety, from the
circumstances surrounding his move to Dublin in 1636, through an exploration of his
relationship with the Werburgh Street Theatre and what influenced his Irish plays, to
the factors which resulted in his return to England in 1640. The thesis historicises the
production of these plays in their socio-political context. The chapters
(chronologically arranged by play) provide close textual studies and contextual
material relating the texts to their patrons, performance spaces, audiences, print history
and Irish politics. This research reveals that during this four year period, Shirley
gradually adapted his writing style in a targeted attempt to appeal to the tastes of the
Dublin audience. Shirley managed the theatre with John Ogilby, who was appointed
Master of the Revels in Ireland by Lord Deputy Wentworth. An analysis of the
relationship between these three key figures has contributed to a comprehensive
picture of the socio-political conditions of Shirley‘s writing. Through the investigation
of Shirley's work and professional position during this time, this thesis builds on
recent critical recovery work (including that by Hadfield/Maley, Rankin, Dutton) on
the literary-political circumstances of Stuart Ireland

I remember school and friends at Seabrook
No full textIn this "I remember" memoir, Shirley Stotz Pillow recalls her childhood at Seabrook. She remembers building forts in the snow in winter; participating in a Japanese dance with her Japanese friends; and working on school projects with her friends. Many Bridgeton parents warned their children not to ask Japanese children why they had to come to Seabrook. This was because the community wanted the Japanese to feel welcom and to be able to start afresh. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms
