Printed in German it advertises "Das Weite Land", a film in colour based on Arthur Schnitzler's famous play, followed by light and serious talks in German based on readings from various authors performed by members of the Ensemble. The two performances, matinee and evening performances on July 4, 1981 were held at the Masonic Centre, Goulburn/Castlereagh Sts. This programme is one of a collection of programmes of the Sydney Viennese Theatre (Kleines Wiener Theater), which had belonged to the donor’s mother. The Viennese Theatre, operational from 1941 to the mid-1980s, provided a cultural link to the home country and Europe to migrants/refugees since most plays were performed in German. The donor’s parents, Edith and Frederick Sowey, were great supporters of the Theatre, which had been founded by Karl Bittman and Alfred Baring “as a symbol of a vibrant and optimistic cultural era” (words of the donor).
