From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the 1996 David Williamson play. For other uses, see Heretic.
Heretic is a 1996 play by Australian playwright David Williamson. The play explores Derek Freemans reaction to Margaret Mead's "The Coming of Age in Samoa". The play takes place in Freeman's dream, where individuals (including Mead) from his life return and discuss his life.
The play was directed by STC director Wayne Harrison in 1996, and starred Elizabeth Alexander as Mead and Robyn Ramsey as Derek Freeman. However, after its opening night at Sydney Opera House a row erupted between Williamson and Harrison about the directors interpretation of the play and almost overshadowed the play itself.
