Founded by young Aboriginal activists, National Black Theatre tried to tell the stories of Aboriginal life with political impact. From 1974 the group had some government funding and moved from street and sketch theatre to full productions of new plays by Aboriginal playwrights. Despite its success, the company lost its funding and closed in 1977.
