Summer of Harold
Hilary Bell

Summer of Harold: Backpackers Janet and Alison become housekeepers for Harold Pinter. Enfant Terrible: Gareth reflects on an evening of bitterness, triumph and discovery. Lookout: Jonathan and Rae connect overlooking the Blue Mountains.

For We the Young
Finegan Kruckemeyer

In For We the Young, a collection of plays by one of Australia's most beloved writers of theatre for young people, Finegan Kruckemeyer offers a glimpse into worlds of quiet sorrow and deep joy, daring feats and ingenious leaps. His quirky humour and surprising stories release the imagination and let it run wild, trailing images and words behind like so many footprints in the snow.

Lovely Lovely Sometimes Ugly
Patricia Cornelius

In Lovely Lovely Sometimes Ugly, a collection of four plays by one of Australia's most fearless playwrights, Patricia Cornelius displays all her skill, wit, beauty and anger, and serves them up like a still beating heart on a chipped plate. 

Australia’s most well-known playwright, David Williamson, returns with four new plays—three comedies that demonstrate his continued skill at tapping into the zeitgeist, alongside a sweeping historical drama.

The Lewis Trilogy
Louis Nowra

The Lewis Trilogy follows Louis Nowra’s occasional hero, sometime narrator and perennial misfit, Lewis, as he struggles to find and understand his place in the changing world around him. The collection includes Summer of the Aliens, Così, and This Much is True.

Williamson: Collected Plays Volume IV by David Williamson includes Jack of Hearts, Cruise Control, Dream Home, and Happiness. 

No play has been more important to the history of Australian theatre than Summer of the Seventeenth Doll. Twenty years later, Ray Lawler returned to his lovable Carlton household and created two more plays: Kid Stakes, the story of the first doll, and Other Times, about the wartime winter which proved the turning point in the life of the characters.

This collection features a keenly engaging discussion of our most dearly held values and their ramifications. Ludicrous and incisive, this collection invites us to confront those questions of morality most threatening to life as we know it. The collection includes Day One, A Hotel, EveningTrue Minds, and Fury. 

Acts of Courage forges immediacy and honesty between a range of stories, generating forgiveness and hope. This trilogy celebrates not only the Australian spirit through times of hardship, but everyday, extraordinary, acts of courage.

One of Australia’s Living National Treasures and its best known and most widely performed playwright, David Williamson brings us five of his latest works. Age has not wearied him, and indeed this collection exemplifies Williamson’s uncanny ability to be timely, relevant and thoroughly modern.
