Kenneth Slessor's Five Bells has frustrated and eluded me for years. In this episode I wrestle with its strange legacy, entertaining the idea that this poem isn't so much an elegy for a specific person as it is a lament for lost potential among artists in Australia more generally. Show notes Radio National's Poetry Special … Continue reading "Ep 109. The frustration of Five Bells"
Richard Carroll is joined by Helpmann-winning director Lee Lewis (artistic director of Griffin Theatre Company) and legendary Australian composer and musical director Max Lambert (The Boy From Oz, Miracle City) to discuss their new production of Darlinghurst Nights at the Hayes. Darlinghurst Nights is a classic Australian musical by Katherine Thomson and Max Lambert (based on the poems of Kenneth Slessor), which debuted at Sydney Theatre Company in 1988. The show depicts working class people in Kings Cross and Darlinghurst in the early 1930s. The 30th anniversary production at the Hayes brings the show to the very area it depicts. www.hayestheatre.com.au
S01E02 Kenneth Slessor by Dr Robert Jones & Ilana Pender-Rose
Five bells was my first commission to paint in situ to cover a wall … I didn’t hesitate. I brushed a line around the core theme, the seed-burst, the life-burst, the sea-harbour, the source of life. Inside and around this core, I painted images drawn from metaphors and similes in [Kenneth] Slessor’s poem of our harbour city, and from my own emotional and physical involvement with the harbour, and with my young family in Watsons Bay … I wanted to show the Harbour as a movement, a sea suck, and the sound of the water as though I am part of the sea ... The painting says directly what I wanted to say: ‘I am in the sea-harbour, and the sea-harbour is in me’. John Olsen, 1999
