Local Man, A

Synopsis:
This play tells the life story of Australia's best-loved Prime Minister, Ben Chifley, set in his Bathurst home a few days before his death in 1951. Stephen Dunne, Sydney Morning Herald (11.8.04) reviewed it as a "strong and affectionate monologue that is not mere hagiography but an effective portrait of the private man behind the iconic political figure". Frank McKone, Canberra Times (10.8.04) wrote, "(a Local Man) gives us both the history and the man. (Ben Chifley's) perceptiveness and his humour show us the reality of his time. His passing leaves us reflecting on today's political and personal world. The script is a major achievement, welding art and accurate history""
