Synopsis
In a moment of glory at the 1968 Olympics, the four Amigos, an Australian rowing team, won a bronze medal.
It was lifetime bond material.
But 35 years later, only two of the four Amigos keep in touch.
Jim is a banker, with money, an expensive house, and a young and beautiful wife.
It seems he has it all, but his friend Dick, a heart surgeon, has something that Jim wants: a sterling reputation.
The two mates, and their wives, meet up in Port Douglas with competing personal agendas.
And then a Steven, the third amigo, turns up, ready to expose all about their past.
And so the games begin...
'Amigos' is a savagely funny play that exposes the subtle violence and unacknowledged dependencies of male friendship -- and the angst and irritation it causes their wives.
Here David Williamson, Australia's most popular and successful playwright, looks at what happens when mateship and mating collide.
(2 acts, 3 male, 2 female).
