Night on Bald Mountain (play)

Night on Bald Mountain is a play by Australian writer Patrick White.

The action takes place during twenty-four hours on isolated Bald Mountain beyond Sydney. White had called it the first true Australian tragedy.[1]

It premiered in March 1964 by the University of Adelaide Theatre Guild for the as yet unestablished "Fringe" alongside the Adelaide Festival of the Arts that year.[2]

Later major productions include a 1996 Company B Belvoir (Sydney) & State Theatre Company of South Australia production directed by Neil Armfield, and a 2014 Malthouse Theatre (Melbourne) production directed by Matthew Lutton.[3][4]
