Soulmates (play)
# Soulmates (play)

Soulmates is a play by Australian playwright David Williamson, published by Currency Press and set in the world of publishing.

Among the people satires are a critic, which was seen as a reflection of Williamson's battles with the critics over a long period of time.

Williamson later said he was "surprised that no one picked up Soulmates" for a film. "It worked very well with audiences on stage and is a classic revenge story."
