In a moment of glory at the 1968 Olympics, the four Amigos, an Australian rowing team, won a bronze medal. It was lifetime bond material. But 35 years later, only two of the four Amigos keep in touch. Jim is a banker, with money, an expensive house, and a young and beautiful wife. It seems he has it all, but his friend Dick, a heart surgeon, has something that Jim wants: a sterling reputation. The two mates, and their wives, meet up in Port Douglas with competing personal agendas. And then a Steven, the third amigo, turns up, ready to expose all about their past. And so the games begin... 'Amigos' is a savagely funny play that exposes the subtle violence and unacknowledged dependencies of male friendship -- and the angst and irritation it causes their wives. Here David Williamson, Australia's most popular and successful playwright, looks at what happens when mateship and mating collide. (2 acts, 3 male, 2 female).
