A major preoccupation of Australian playwrights has been the individual and his relationship to accepted models of male social behavior. This has been expressed in terms of what one critic has called the group versus outsider pattern.' In its more complex forms this has addressed the issue of the limits on individualism in the face of male solidarity and mateship, and how this in turn has affected relationships between men and women. It is possible to trace the paradoxes of mateship and individualism, and their effect on mating, through a whole gamut of modern Australian plays, but here I shall concentrate on four which are among the best known both in Australia and abroad
