Sharp-edged, satirical and accusatory, Emerald City lays into the materialism of the 1980s with a razor-sharp wit. 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.
