Birthrights

A bittersweet play about motherhood

At twenty-nine, Helen has a vital operation that stops her from having what she desperately wants - a child

Her younger sister Claudia gives her a wonderful gift when she agrees to be a surrogate mother

But what happens when, years later, Claudia discovers that she and her husband Martin cannot conceive and that Kelly, the child she gave to her sister, is the only baby she will ever bear?

Soulmates

Williamson applies his merciless humour to the literary world in a play about the slippery business of books, authors, and the readers who love them both

Commerce competes with art; serious writing with popular writing.

Set in Melbourne and New York, this is a tale of revenge as the best-selling expatriate author Katie Best engineers a scheme to bring her most craven critic Danny O’Loughlin undone
