David Williamson's EMERALD CITY - Special event screening with Q+A

Join us for a special event screening of David Williamson's Emerald City. Theatre filmed live for the bigs screen! With special Q+A from Australian National Theatre Live founder Grant Dodwell.

ABOUT THE FILM:
Welcome to the glittering jewel of that other Oz. Fading screenwriter Colin is not long in Sydney before he's seduced by its obsession with success. Teaming up with well-connected hack writer Mike, Colin finds himself in a tug of war between artistic ambition and big bucks. Fame and fortune – not to mention Mike's criminally hot girlfriend – are up for grabs.

Part love letter, part hate mail to the harbour city, Emerald City is one of the best works by Australian theatre's most beloved craftsman and commentator, David Williamson. Three decades after it was written, it still captures the ballsy spirit of the '80s and retains its skewering sharpness – a panoramic view of the city that's always prized beauty over brains.

A fast-moving, wisecracking commentary on contemporary urban mores and morals, and the rivalries and passions to be encountered on the road to success. Colin, a screenwriter, and his wife Kate, a publisher, move to the 'Emerald City', where fame and fortune are there for the taking, but surprises are in store for them both.

Sharp-edged, statical and accusatory, Emerald City lays into the materialism of the 1980s with a razor wit. Within four months of its premiere, five separate productions had opened around Australia
