Discussion and analysis – The Drover’s Wife: Legend of Molly Johnson

The western fandom is vast and diverse and here at the nexus of all things weird, we will chat about any and everything western related. 

Today on Weird West Radio, the hosts discuss The Drover’s Wife: Legend of Molly Johnson. The Drover’s Wife The Legend of Molly Johnson is part of Leah Purcell’s Indigenous reimagining of Henry Lawson’s seminal, 1892 short story, The Drover’s Wife. It spans theatre, literature and film and sees Purcell literally rewrite white Australian literary history, using Lawson’s short story as a Trojan horse to enter the Australian psycheand shift it.
