Play review - "The Department" (1974) by David Williamson

 I remember liking this more on the first read. Maybe I was impressed by the authenticity. There's a lot of detail. Too much. It's bogged down. Lacks strong characters. There is Robby the lead dept head but even he we don't get to know much. There's a tall skinny larrikin called Peter - was this Williamson? The characters aren't strongly defined or is the drama. A lot of tech talk. Not a bad play just feels muddy. I think Williamson cracked how to do this workplace intrigue with The Club.
