On cover: 'souvenir program of a life in theatre' Includes index. Widely acknowledged as one of the most significant figures of the Australian theatre in the twentieth century, Livermore has enjoyed a career spanning more than fifty years; in his time on stage, on television and in life, he provides an important link with performers and performances during that evolutionary period. Chapters & Chances is more than just a personal memoir of a life lived in public; it offers a valuable perspective on Australian theatrical history, from the ground-breaking era of Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show to Livermore’s legendary one-man shows to his stints on commercial television on variety shows such as I’m Alright Now. Livermore’s journey in the theatre has been phenomenal, and his achievements unique. It is hard to imagine such a career as his being constructed these days. Chapters & Chances is a chronicle and a celebration of a time of extraordinary ferment in Australian arts.
