Money and Friends is a full-length comedy by David Williamson. Kindhearted Peter, a mathematician who embodies niceness itself, is in financial trouble because of his brother's bankruptcy. His neighbour Margaret decides to seek help from his wealthy friends who spend much of their time boasting about their wealth. But while his friends happily take advantage of Peter's good nature in their own hour of need, how willing will they be to bail him and risk losing their money? What price friendship?

Money and Friends is about eight well-off people who have become friends over several years of weekends at beach resort south of Sydney: Peter, a professor of pure mathematics; Conrad (a star television reporter) and his wife Jaquie; Stephen (a surgeon) and his wife Penny; Alex (a mega-lawyer) and his wife Vicki; and Margaret, a history professor, Peter's closest friend. Peter and Margaret are the exceptions to wealth and marriage – his wife passed away and her husband left her for a younger woman. As this weekend begins, Margaret is a little more bitter than usual and Peter is a little more accommodating as they've both got something bothering them. During drinks one evening, Margaret, fed up with the "tribe," gets a little too nasty, ending the evening on a sour note. Margaret's honesty prompts Peter to tell her that he's about to lose everything unless he can come with $50,000 to cover a failed loan. She insists he tell everyone and ask for their help, but he refuses and makes her promise not reveal anything. The weekend progresses, and taking Margaret's lead, Peter attempts some honesty, starting with her. He tells Margaret to stop picking up younger men, and then goes on to inform his other friends what he really thinks, leaving them stunned. Initially, except Margaret, they never want to see him again, but soon realize that what Peter did was actually good for them. Realizing that Peter is really their best friend, Alex and Vicki plan a surprise party in his honour. In light of these plans Margaret can't keep quiet and spills the story of Peter's financial trouble, suggesting they should loan him $50,000. Despite their wealth, however, they'd rather die than part with any of their money, even to help their friend. In the end, all are forced to make decisions regarding Peter's debt, and as money initially tore them apart, it will inevitably bring some of the friends back together again. A revealing clash between materialism and ideals by the screenwriter of The Year of Living Dangerously, Phar Lap, and Gallipoli.

Money and Friends premiered in 1991 by the Queensland Theatre Company at the Suncorp Theatre in Brisbane, Australia. The US premiere was in 1993 at the James A. Doolittle Theater in Hollywood. The play is one of David Williamson's most commercially successful plays, touring Australia for a year, and is frequently revived.

Popstars is a high-energy musical packed with smash hits from the hyper-colored 1990's by artists such as Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, TLC, *NSYNC, Christina Aguilera, MC Hammer, and many more.

The action takes place in a school in the 1990's where Mark is head over heels in love with his girlfriend, queen bee Shannon Van de Witt. When Shannon learns that pop-band impresario Simon Austin is the surprise judge at the State Talent Show, she dumps him for her chance at showbiz stardom. Mark rapidly goes from High School hero to High School zero. His garage band buddies rally around him and soon a plan for revenge is hatched to change their grunge band to a boy band and snatch the Talent Show title from Shannon’s "Candy Girls". There’s just one small problem... the boys can’t dance. Mark enlists the help of the ultra-talented, new girl, Ella to help with their boy band make over and sparks soon fly.

Can Mark get the girl, get the Grand Prize and get even with the scheming Shannon closing in? It’s anyone’s guess as the countdown to the Grand Finale begins. It’s sure to be one to remember.

A powerful, psychological drama set in an oppressive old house in London, where grown-up siblings Norman and Sandra resist their lonely future and harassment by property developers by living out their fantasies in the music of their idol, Frank Sinatra. Norman, an agoraphobic bookbinder, works at home and heats microwave meals to perfection, Sandra, with outside job and interests, longs to break free of her existence. But the option of leaving her mentally-disturbed brother and running off with the "mystic" Phillip proves less than straightforward. Phillip eventually cons her out of money, needed to save his skin, which leads to a truly frightening scene, but gives Sandra the lever to quit the family home. Shortly after her departure, however, Phillip returns to beg for sanctuary from a society he can no longer deal with and Norman, realizing he has the upper hand, offers it to him.
