“Timberlake Wertenbaker’s play, based on Thomas Keneally’s, Playmaker, is a work that for the most part preaches to the converted (theatre-goer), having at its core the idea that literature and theatre in particular, can be a humanizing and civilizing medium … What the play does well is to bring these ideas to the stage without being reduced to clunkingly dull set pieces of polemic. The characters are all vivid and well drawn by the strong, gender and colour-blind casting.”
