Breakfast

It's 1996 and John Howard has just won the federal election. And a young bloke, keen to become a writer, has just moved house into 'Liberal Street'. What he finds with his new neighbours is a bit of a generation clash as well as some serious concerns about who should park where.

That's the setting for The Pig Iron People, by first-time playwright John Doyle. John is best known for his work on television -- including Changi, Marking Time and for his radio work, most notably This Sporting Life on Triple J.
