About Currency Press Pty Ltd

Currency Press was founded in 1971 by Katharine Brisbane, then national theatre critic for The Australian, and her husband Dr Philip Parsons, a lecturer in Drama at UNSW who worked passionately to bridge the gap between the university and the profession. The company began as a play publishing service but its scope has broadened well beyond that. Currency is now Australia's foremost publisher of the performing arts and its oldest independent publisher still active. Our list includes plays and screenplays, professional handbooks, biographies, cultural histories, critical studies and reference works. Currency Press is managed by Chairman Nick Parsons—son of founders Katharine Brisbane and Philip Parsons—Claire Grady, (Publisher) and Deborah Franco (Marketing Manager).
