Synopsis
A Local Man - A Play about Ben Chifley
$27.99
Published by Currency Press
Having recently led his party to its second defeat at the polls, it is a time of challenge for the Labor leader
The dreams Ben Chifley had for post-war Australia lie shattered and his health is failing
His life now seems but an epilogue to earlier times of aspiration and power
It's a time for decisions, and it's equally a time for reflection by Chifley on his life as a national political leader and as a man - a local man
Ben Chifley died in Canberra four days later
REVIEWS
" ... a strong and affectionate monologue that is not mere hagiography, but an effective portrait behind the iconic political figure" ~ Sydney Morning Herald
