AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In Soulmates, David Williamson appplies his merciless humour to the literary world in a play about the slippery business of books, authors, their work and the readers who love them. When Katie Best, ex-pat Australian and Chick Lit Queen, receives an acerbic review from Danny, a Melbourne critic, she vows to take her revenge'. (Publisher's blurb, back cover).
