Summary
Williamson's satire of university educated upwardly mobile (in the main) ALP supporters is set in a suburb on Sydney's North Shore on the night of the 1969 Federal Election (in the play it was set in an outer suburb of Melbourne). The satire achieves its bite through a sense of what passes for naturalism. The essential ockerism of the males becomes more apparent as the party degenerates and the alcohol takes over. The critical focus sharpens and the humour becomes more cynical
