A full house of revellers at Waterfront Restaurant last week helped Noosa-based playwright David Williamson and wife Kristin launch his memoir, Home Truths.
The book, explored in a recent two-part interview for Noosa Today, is already an Australian bestseller, as you would expect from a man who has been Australia’s favourite playwright for more than half a century. Deputy Mayor Frank Wilkie, himself a first-rate thespian who has appeared in eight Williamson plays, gave David a rollicking introduction, concluding that “if we can’t have William Shakespeare here today, we can at least have William-son”.
The genial giant himself was in fine form as he took the room on a journey through a life well-lived, and far from over.
