The Indecent Exposure of Anthony East is a 1968 play by David Williamson.[1]
It was Williamson's first play performed publicly and was produced by the Melbourne University student theatre group, Tin Alley Players. It was performed over three nights, and was directed by Christopher Bell with filmmaker Brian Davis playing the title role. It has never been revived.[2]
William wrote a program note for the production:
There is a belief that an Australian writer is an inferior creature. This belief may not be shaken by tonight’s performance – but nevertheless I should like to thank the producer for helping to get this play into a shape which is at least workable, and for his courage in taking an ‘Austalian’ production. We need an Austalian Theatre because we are not Americans, Britons or Swedes, and, until local producers are prepared to do the hard work of finding potential playwrights, helping them to raise rough drafts and enabling them to learn from their own mistakes, we won’t get it.
