Top Silk is a play by David Williamson concerning two lawyers.[1] It is not regarded as one of his strongest plays but was very successful commercially.[2]
Plot
A legal aid solicitor and a prominent barrister battle over their individual careers and the future of their teenage son.
The play was better received in Melbourne than Sydney.[3]
Despite relatively poor reviews, including a negative critic from HG Kippax of the Sydney Morning Herald, the 1989 production still earned over $2 million.[4]
