A bittersweet play about motherhood.
At twenty-nine, Helen has a vital
operation that stops her from having what she desperately wants: a
child. Her younger sister Claudia gives her a wonderful gift when she
agrees to be a surrogate mother. But what happens when, years later,
Claudia discovers that she and her husband Martin cannot conceive and
that Kelly, the child she gave to her sister, is the only baby she will
ever bear?

Soulmates
\Williamson applies his merciless
humour to the literary world in a play about the slippery business of
books, authors, and the readers who love them both. Commerce competes
with art; serious writing with popular writing.
Set in Melbourne and New York, this is
a tale of revenge as the best-selling expatriate author Katie Best
engineers a scheme to bring her most craven critic Danny O'Loughlin
undone.
