Dead Cats Don't Bounce
By Simon Alroe
A new comedy by the writer of The Slippery Slope which played to capacity houses at the Judith Wright Centre and was nominated for 3 Perform Magazine Awards: best script, best production and best actor (Robert Coleby).
"The Slippery Slope...reminds me of David Williamson. It's as good as anything I've seen in Sydney or Melbourne. Support the local product. It is a very good play."
Nigel Munro-Wallis - ABC Radio.
Ben Doyle and Martin Keene have built a corporate giant out of an idea dreamt up during a drinking bout on a European backpacking tour. But the death of a friend sends Ben into an identity crisis which threatens to bring the company crashing down around their ears. And when the true story of their rivalry for a beautiful French girl unravels Ben and Martin discover that your best friends can also be your worst enemies...
*A Dead Cat Bounce: a spectacular decline in the price of a company stock followed by a temporary rise before resuming its downward movement. Wikipaedia
