Book description
Williamson is probably still our national playwright here in Australia. Im probably showing my State allegiances as much as anything else in saying he hasnt written a play that matches anything he wrote over twenty years ago. But he did move to Sydney at that time, and what can one expect? In the immortal words of Barry Humphries - Im not just an Australian, Im a Victorian.This play is like no other by Williamson before or since. I think it is easily his best play, and that is really saying something as he has an impressive body of work. Some of his plays have been made into quite good films - Travelling North with Leo McKern was a wonderful film and perhaps Williamsons last truly great play. He was at his best when he wrote plays based on character, rather than theme in my view.The Removalist was also made into a television drama that was an excellent production and kept well to the book. Ive seen this once and would love to see it again.The Removalist is not the only play by Williamson to deal with class distinctions in Australia, and definitely not the only play to deal with the differences between the sexes - we are a nation that spends far too much time trying to deny that class distinctions exist. It is our great egalitarian myth. Williamson, at his best, shows these class distinctions in all their naturalism. His grasp of the rhythms of the Australian voice in its various class accents is pretty much without peer.Plays like The Department and The Club also have themes of class distinction - plays like A Handful of Friends or Jugglers Three are quite realistic and sometimes quite shocking. The Return of Stork and Dons Party (perhaps his most famous plays in Australia and two of his earliest) are subversively at their funniest mostly when they deal with sex. But none of his other plays are as stark or as confrontational as The Removalist.The story revolves around two policemen who have been called to a house where a middleclass woman is encouraging her more workingclass sister to move out of what she considers to be an abusive relationship with her husband. The police clearly see this as an opportunity to have sex with the two women and there is some flirting between them in their first encounter.When the police return with a removalist to shift the younger sister out of the house, the husband comes home from the pub and the subsequent confrontation is, well, confronting.Williamson has always denied that this is an anti-police story - and I tend to agree with him. This is a story of sexual politics as much as it is about police brutality - but the brutality is clearly there and not held back in anyway. We are shown a very ugly side of a power inbalance born of sexual frustration as much as anything else and that lingers with the reader for quite sometime.There are some very funny moments in the play - the removalist himself is the definition of comic relief - but as a play about sexual politics it is a very disturbing view. In the words of Bob Dylan, There aint no limit to the amount of trouble women bring.This play is possibly most disturbing because we dont come away really hating any of the characters - it would be much less confronting if we could dislike the police more, for example. Unlike some of his later plays it is not nearly as didactic as it could have been, and this is its greatest virtue. Every action in the play has a terrible logic and a sense of inevitability. And that is probably as good a definition of a great play as I can think of.So, yes, I would probably recommend it.
