The Club
Written By: David Williamson
Creative Team: Vicky Horwood
The Club is a satirical play by the Australian playwright David Williamson. It follows the fortunes of an Australian rules football club over the course of a season and explores the clashes of individuals from within the club. It was inspired by the backroom dealings and antics of the Victorian Football League ‘s Collingwood Football Club.
Although first staged in 1977 (50 years ago), is it surprisingly reflective of many issues still facing Australian Rules Football teams: money rather than team spirit or tradition govern the management of clubs; coaches are sacked; administrators control decisions; players are bought for absurd sums; and bitter disputes are played out in the media. The main difference is the number of zeros after the dollar sign.
The play is big, broad and very funny even if you know nothing about footy.
