About the play


Written in 1971, Don's Party is a warts-and-all snapshot of Australian life in 1969. It deals with a bunch of young professionals, who gather one night hoping for a Labor victory in the '69 election. Described as "a boozy, brawly romp", Don's Party captures the hopes and disappointments of people moving from the idealism of university life to the humdrum routines and responsibilities of suburbia. Widely regarded as Williamson's best, its bitingly funny, desperately bleak, and brutally accurate. This play contains adult themes and coarse language.
