This is a scholarly and fond assessment of the life and work of Australian playwright Nick Enright, who died in 2003. Pender (English and theatre studies, University of New England, Armidale,
Australia) and Lever (English, University of New South Wales) provide an overview of Enright's life and work. Scholars and former students examine individual works, including The Boy From Oz,
which was a Broadway musical starring Hugh Jackman. Enright also wrote screenplays and was a teacher and mentor to actors. Many of the articles include personal memories of Enright. This will
be of interest to students of theater, Australian writers and fans of Enright's work. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
