Brutality in the workplace, rage in the streets, seething in the home. The vulnerability of political parties when they've forgotten why they're there. The intellectual torpor of modern Australia. How power corrupts.The Blind Giant is Dancing is an angry and tender depiction of an idealist, Allen Fitzgerald, who becomes so embroiled in a party power struggle that he loses sight of what's at stake.When it premiered in 1983, The Blind Giant is Dancing felt like a sharp slap in the face. Now, in an age of ICAC, union credit cards, speculative housing bubbles, a pulverised working class and vapid leadership in the 21st century, this Australian classic has lost none of its brute force.Winner of the 1985 New South Wales Premier's Literary Award Intro -- Playwright's Biography -- Day City, Night City -- Director's Note -- Author's Note -- Dedication -- First Production -- Characters -- The Blind Giant Is Dancing -- Act One -- Act Two -- Act Three -- Copyright Details
