The PlayMeet Ziggy Blasko - Australia’s most popular
Though criticised for promoting ethnic hatred and
inflaming tensions, he's at the top of his career. Can Ziggy weather the storm? The PlaywrightDavid Williamson rose to prominence in the early 1970s, with works such as Don's Party (later turned into a 1976 film), a comic drama set during an Australian federal election and The Removalists (1971). Graduating from Monash University in 1965, he worked briefly for General Motors Holden and then as a lecturer for Swinburne University, before he turned to writing plays in 1967. Williamson's plays focus on themes of politics, loyalty and family in contemporary urban Australia, particularly in Melbourne and Sydney. His major works include The Club, The Department, Travelling North, The Perfectionist, Emerald City, Money and Friends and Brilliant Lies. He also collaborated on the screenplays for Gallipoli
(1981) and The Year of Living Dangerously (1982). |
