2 16 y separately published work icon Rooted Alex Buzo , 1969 Melbourne : Untapped , 2021 Z79640 1969 single work drama

Bentley has always been lucky.  He won a chook at the pub once.
Gary’s a delightful raconteur and is in great demand as an after dinner speaker. 
Diane goes off her brain.  She’s going on surfari next week.
Sandy’s always on the move.  It’s a mad whirl.  
Richard’s got some incredibly tactile friends in the underground.  

'Bentley’s just won the doubles tennis with Gary, he’s hit the jackpot by marrying a top bird like Sandy, his new stereo set has got Richard’s tick of approval and the house warming party was a real turn.  Yes, Bentley’s always been lucky.  But now Simmo’s moved in with Bentley’s wife… in Bentley’s new home unit.

'A classic piece of Australian ‘new wave’ theatre, the late Alex Buzo’s hilarious farce bitterly satirises those who wield power and root those without it.'
