The Workers' Art Guild was a radical cultural and political force in Perth in the 1930s and 1940s, embracing new ideas in a provincial, isolated city. The Guild's innovative approaches to theatre and art were praised by critics, but its left-wing politics, influenced by the Communist Party of Australia, were denounced by many. Police and intelligence officers kept close tabs on the Guild, censoring its activities and intimidating and jailing its members in the lead-up to World War II. Through the lives of its key players, such as writer Katharine Susannah Prichard and theatre maverick Keith George, this book illuminates a fascinating era in Western Australian history and charts the influence of the Communist Party on Western Australian artists.
