Don is now a retired school teacher. PlotThe Scene: 21 August 2010, Don invites old friends around for a party the night of the federal election. It’s 21 August 2010, the night of yet another federal election and, of course, yet another election night party at Don’s place. Over the decades, as he and his friends watched governments come and go, they have also closely followed the incoming results from each other’s lives: the tallies of luck and misfortune, the unexpected swings for and against. And through it all, the lesson that this crowd of superannuated Baby Boomers never seemed to learn is that politics and strong personalities should never be mixed with alcohol. The friends have all aged and been affected by life's experiences very differently over the decades. Views have polarized and surprised. Full of humor and surprises, a new classic and a fascinating comment on life from a boomer's perspective.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} ReceptionThe play received mixed reviews but proved popular.[3] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.mtc.com.au/tickets/production.aspx?performanceNumber=3151 |title=MTC.com.au: Awards for Don's Party |accessdate=2010-01-08 |work=MTC.com.au |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101211144512/http://www.mtc.com.au/tickets/production.aspx?performanceNumber=3151 |archivedate=2010-12-11 |df= }} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/arts/david-williamson-launches-dons-party-sequel-don-parties-on/story-e6frexmi-1225960080716 |title=dailytelegraph.com.au: David Williamson launches Don's Party sequel, Don Parties On |accessdate=2010-01-08 |work=dailytelegraph.com.au}} 3. ^David Williamson, "No Apology for My Play but for My Generation", Crikey, 21 January 2011 accessed 1 December 2012 External links
