Williamson David G. Boeken
David Williamson is een gevierd Australisch toneelschrijver wiens werken scherpe inzichten bieden in de Australische samenleving en haar ingewikkelde interpersoonlijke dynamiek. Zijn meesterschap ligt in het creëren van levendige dialogen en personages die de sociale en politieke stromingen van hun tijd weerspiegelen. Williamson's schrijven kenmerkt zich door scherpe humor, humor en een diep begrip van de menselijke natuur, wat hem zowel nationaal als internationaal lof opleverde. Zijn toneelstukken vangen vaak de essentie van de Australische identiteit en duiken tegelijkertijd in universele thema's als macht, ambitie en moraliteit.

A revealing clash between materialism and ideals. David Williamson is a leading Australian playwright.
Forty years ago, a young playwright muscled his way onto the scene with a clutch of time-defining plays, including Don's Party. With this sequel, David Williamson celebrates four decades of telling the tribe their story. It is 21 August 2010, the night of yet another federal election and, of course, yet another election night party at Don's place. Over the decades, as he and his friends watched governments come and go, they have also closely followed the incoming results from each other's lives: the tallies of luck and misfortune, the unexpected swings for and against. And through it all, the lesson that this crowd of superannuated baby boomers never seemed to learn is that politics and strong personalities should never be mixed with alcohol. (4 male, 5 female).
