 Australian Theatre History. The Australian Performing Group at the Pram Factory
This view tends to treat the APG as a stepping stone, an interim cultural development, a necessary stage the Australian theatre had to pass through, as though we framed a transitional program aimed at bringing on a situation whereby Australian scripts would at long last feature in the repertoires state companies put to their subscribers.

Pramocracy, a position-paper by John Timlin, canters down the straight, but the full course requires a multitude of voices, possibly the witness of all who were APG collective members, plus any hired hand of the company who had the good, or bad fortune, to attend a Pram Factory meeting.
