Cathcart vs Brooke: a Touring Actress and a Trial of Public Private Identity in the Australian Colonies
No full textIn this article Kate Flaherty examines the sensational contractual dispute that arose
between Gustavus Vaughan Brooke and Mary Fanny Cathcart during their Australian
colonial tour in 1855. She follows Brooke’s attempt to use his theatrical repertoire to
achieve and consolidate a legal victory over Cathcart, but argues that this strategy
ultimately backfired and elicited a form of judgement by the theatregoing public that
countered the judgement handed down by the Supreme Court. Conversely, coverage of
the case in Australian newspapers is identified as shaping reviews and sharpening the
edge of the stage dramas. The article provides a focused instance of the complex interplay
of dramatic works, cultural politics, gendered power, and publicity that characterized
nineteenth-century theatrical touring. Kate Flaherty is a lecturer in English and Drama at
the Australian National University, a member of the International Shakespeare Conference,
and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. She is author of Ours as We Play
It: Australia Plays Shakespeare (University of Western Australia Press, 2011), as well as
numerous essays on how Shakespeare’s works play on the stage of public culture
Introduction: Learning locally
No full textIn the 1998 essay Post-colonial Shakespeare? Writing away from the centre, which inspires our title, New Zealand scholar Michael Neill argues that in postcolonial nations
the decentring of Shakespeare has generally been more rhetorical than real - [T]he long and complicated history of Shakespeare's entanglement with Empire has ensured that (for better or worse) his work has become deeply constitutive of all of us for whom the world is (to a greater or lesser degree) shaped by the English language - Through four hundred years of imperializing history our Anglophone cultures have become so saturated with Shakespeare that our ways of thinking about such basic issues as nationality, gender and racial difference are inescapably inflected by his writing. (Neill, 1998, 185)
Undoubtedly true as this observation still is, education in the excolonies has moved on, growing more complex and confident in its own locally-situated cultural authority. This applies equally to the teaching of Shakespeare (as Neill concludes his essay, the question is 'not whether but how he should be taught'). Binary approaches to understanding learning (active/passive, school/university, teaching/research) are no longer adequate to the realities of education in the modern world. The situation is ripe for engagement with the complexity theories that are increasingly being applied to the domain of human learning (see, for example, Barnett, 1999)
