This site contains plays I’ve written over the years. It includes “Relaxed and Comfortable: The Rise and Fall of John Howard”, which I wrote in 2008, the year after John Howard fell from power.

It follows John Howard’s entire career, from his election to Federal Parliament in 1974 to the end of his prime ministership in 2007.

Paul Keating appears in Act Two and Tony Abbott is the compere.
