Williamson David G. Libri
David Williamson è un acclamato drammaturgo australiano le cui opere offrono esplorazioni incisive della società australiana e delle sue intricate dinamiche interpersonali. La sua maestria risiede nella creazione di dialoghi e personaggi vivaci che rispecchiano le correnti sociali e politiche del loro tempo. La scrittura di Williamson è caratterizzata da arguzia tagliente, umorismo e una profonda comprensione della natura umana, che gli sono valse il plauso sia a livello nazionale che internazionale. Le sue opere catturano spesso l'essenza dell'identità australiana mentre approfondiscono temi universali come il potere, l'ambizione e la moralità.

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).
