Lately, critically acclaimed screenwriter Colin has had more box office bombs than smash-hit sensations. Swapping the drizzly streets of Melbourne for the shimmering shores of Sydney in pursuit of success, Colin discovers that the glitz and glamour of the Emerald City may be more alluring than he first thought… power, influence and the top harbour views are glittering at his fingertips, but what will he have to sacrifice?
David Williamson’s refreshed iconic 1980’s triumph picks apart the quest for success, and the rivalries, passion and compromises that are made along the way. Directed by Mark Kilmurry don’t miss Ensemble favourites Danielle Carter, Guy Edmonds, Rachel Gordon and Matt Minto, in this timeless satire by one of Australia’s most beloved social commentators.
