David Williamson is without question one of Australia’s most significant and celebrated cultural figures. For over thirty years his plays have been the mirror to which many Australians have turned to see themselves reflected – from the early sensations of Don’s Party, The Removalists and The Club to the smash-hits Emerald City, Travelling North and Brilliant Lies.

Williamson’s life has been as engaging and interesting as his art. For 35 years, he has been at the collision point of art and politics – a friend of many of the significant artistic and political figures of his generation: Clifton Pugh, Peter Weir, Gough Whitlam, Peter Carey, Bruce Beresford, Paul Keating. Through his plays and his articles, Williamson’s views have characterised and galvanised generations of Australians.

Who better to invite us into that life than the woman with whom he has shared it, his wife Kristin? Kristin takes us behind the scenes – into the study, the dining room, the rehearsal room – to give us the ultimate portrait of the man whose plays have so defined his times and his country.
