Brilliant Lies
A woman accuses former employer of harassment and unfair dismissal for failing to comply with his sexual demands.
The gloves are off and the claws are out! It’s her word against his and it’s going to take some BRILLIANT LIES to win this battle of the sexes.
David Williamson, the acclaimed writer behind some of Australia’s most celebrated dramas: Don’s Party, The Club and Travelling North, delivers a stinging exploration of sexual politics in the office and the dynamic power plays that exist behind closed doors in Brilliant Lies.
Susie O’Connor (Gia Carides, Strictly Ballroom) says that from the moment she started working for him, her boss sexually harassed her. When she didn’t submit to his advances, she was summarily fired. Now Suzie is after $40,000 in compensation and she is not going to back down without a fight.
Gary Fitzgerald (Anthony LaPaglia, Balibo) says he never touched her, that he’s innocent and she made it all up. With Gary’s entire professional reputation on the line he is determined to do whatever it takes to clear his name.
Expertly adapted by Richard Franklin (Road Games) and featuring a strong supporting cast, including Zoe Carides (Death In Brunswick) and Ray Barrett (Don’s Party), Brilliant Lies is an eye-opening tale of deception and edgy intrigue.
