Synopsis

Williamson’s famous play about the uses and abuses of managerial power, which in 1976 foreshadowed the great changes that Australian football has since endured, proves even more prescient since the rise and fall of Super League.

This is a play set behind the scenes; a head-on tackle of brawn versus bureaucracy.

Also available in David Williamson's Collected Plays Volume II.
