Don's Party

What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about the play, appreciating its humor and satirical take on societal issues, yet some find it lacking in depth. Many note that it serves as a time capsule reflecting the attitudes of the 1970s, with sharp commentary on political and social themes. While the dialogue offers a lot to laugh at, some critiques focus on its portrayal of gender dynamics and character portrayal.

Synopsis
It's election night 1969. Don and Kath hope that there will be a change of government, and give a party to watch the results.
As the tide turns against Labor, the good cheer palls and the faded ideals and disappointed hopes of the characters begin to show.
Williamson's brilliant satire examines a society on the threshold of emerging from a generation of comfortable, conservative political and social values.
