A Handful of Friends is a 1976 play by David Williamson.[1]
It was written for the South Australian Theatre Company.[2]
Williamson said in an interview with Quadrant magazine that he had based one of the characters on Williamson's wife, Kristin, and another on his then-friend Bob Ellis.[3] Ellis complained about this in print leading to a public argument between him and Williamson which became notorious.[4]
