David Williamson - top ten

1) Sanctuary - awesome masterpiece, a great two hander

2) A Conversation - perhaps his most emotionally devastating work

3) Emerald City  - classic comedy, the best argument for Australian culture I've come across

4) The Club - stunningly good tale of politics in sport

Those four for me are his pantheon.

5) Don's Party - vitally important to this country's cultural history but also hilarious in places

6) The Removalists - powerful

7) Nearer the Gods - his most successful history play

8) Up for Grabs - a frenetic, balls to the wall farce, very entertaining

9) Travelling North - moving, warm, affectionate

10) Odd Man Out - great late period DW, a rom com
