Essington Lewis

By John O'Donoghue

Subjects: Drama

Description: A reconstruction of the public and private life of Essington Lewis, the mastermind behind BHP, the Big Australian. The play gathers a vivid, diverse and wonderfully eccentric array of characters from the coal pits of the Hunter Valley to the board rooms of Melbourne to give a theatrical insight into the conflicts, sacrifices and divided loyalties of Australia's industrial history.
