Synopsis:

David Williamson, the acclaimed writer behind some of Australia's most celebrated dramas: Dons Party, The Club and Travelling North, delivers a stinging exploration of sexual politics in the office and the dynamic power plays that exist behind closed doors in BRILLIANT LIES. Susie OConnor says that from the moment she started working for him, her boss sexually harassed her. When she did not submit to his advances, she was summarily fired. Now Suzie is after $40,000 in compensation and she is not going to back down without a fight. Gary Fitzgerald says he never touched her, that he is innocent and she made it all up. With Garys entire professional reputation on the line he is determined to do whatever it takes to clear his name. Expertly adapted by Richard Franklin and featuring a strong supporting cast, including Zoe Carides and Ray Barrett, Brilliant Lies is an eye-opening tale of deception and edgy intrigue.

Susy Conner accuses former employer, Gary Fitzgerald, of harassment and unfair dismissal for failing to comply with his sexual demands. Relating the incident to conciliation lawyer, Marion Lee, Susy comments that the trauma experienced should entitle her to a compensation payment of $40,000.00.

THE GLOVES ARE OFF AND THE CLAWS ARE OUT! ITS HER WORD AGAINST HIS AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME BRILLIANT LIES TO WIN THIS BATTLE OF THE SEXES.
