'This essay considers the work of Australian actor Kerry Walker (b. 1948) in the years
1977-1989. It focuses on Walker's acting style in the roles she played in a variety of
works by Patrick White, her approach to acting and her enduring friendship with White.
It seeks to document the specific qualities Walker brought to her performances in
White's plays and to explain her distinctive understanding of White's drama.' (Author's abstract)
