Emerald City is a 1987 play by Australian playwright David Williamson, a satire about two entertainment industries – film and publishing. 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.

A fast-moving, wisecracking commentary on contemporary urban mores and morals, and the rivalries and passions to be encountered on the road to success. Married couple Colin, a screenwriter, and 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.

Reviews

'Emerald City sparkles like Sydney Harbour on a sunny day.' 'It’s Williamson at his sharpest and it’s often deftly funny ... his observations on Australia’s cultural cringe and the tensions our artists face ring true.' Expand reviews
