ABSTRACT This paper examines the evolution of Australian approaches to the production of Shakespeare’s plays during and following the New Wave period. Theatre is a barometer and instigator of social change. By mapping Australia’s evolving sense of national identity and its changing relationship with its colonial masters against changes on the stage, we can gain insight into Australia’s evolving cultural relationship with Shakespeare. Tracing the trend from reverence to irreverence to ownership, this paper supplies a background to this evolution that continues to play out on the stage in contemporary Australian productions of Shakespeare.

冲浪新潮：带有澳大利亚口音的莎士比亚

摘要本文探讨了在新浪潮时期及之后，澳大利亚莎士比亚戏剧创作方法的演变。剧院是社会变革的晴雨表和倡导者。通过将澳大利亚不断发展的民族认同感及其与殖民统治者之间不断变化的关系与舞台上的变化进行映射，我们可以洞悉澳大利亚与莎士比亚之间不断发展的文化关系。追寻从崇敬到无礼到拥有的趋势，本文为这种演变提供了背景，并在当代莎士比亚作品中不断在舞台上发挥作用。
