Soulmates (play)


Soulmates is a play by Australian playwright David Williamson, published by Currency Press and set in the world of publishing.
Among the people satires are a critic, which was seen as a reflection of Williamson's battles with the critics over a long period of time.
Williamson later said he was "surprised that no one picked up Soulmates" for a film. "It worked very well with audiences on stage and is a classic revenge story."
