Brent Lyall has it all. At 23 years old he has a beautiful girlfriend, two Brownlow medals, and he's already the captain of one of the most powerful football clubs in the land. There's just one small hitch. Occasionally he enjoys dressing up in women's clothes. Uncovering his client's penchant for cross dressing, Brent's wily agent Rohan Swift swings into damage control to prevent the devastating truth from coming out. The media already has a whiff of the story and the humiliation of a public outing would spell the end of the athlete's career, not to mention the mountains of cash they're both making through endorsements.
Inevitably, the AFL player's addiction is irrepressible and his alter ego must be set free.
With more than 40 years in the business and a string of box office successes,
David Williamson (
The Club,
Don's Party,
Let the Sunshine) has earned a reputation as our country's most popular and successful playwright.
Managing Carmen is Williamson's latest laugh-out-loud instalment, holding a mirror up to the personalities we've all come to love and hate - the whatever-it-takes businessman, the bimbo trophy wife, and of course, the flawed footy hero.
