The Puzzle is a 2024 Australian play by David Williamson.[1] It will have its world premiere in Adelaide in 2024 with the State Theatre Company South Australia.[2]
Williamson called it a comedy about how lives are continually disrupted, “and how infidelity and boredom can become the basis of human comedy and tragedy”.[3]
"So many people screw their lives up in the most ludicrous way, and as a satirist I'm attracted to that," said Williamson. "People who have everything but convince themselves they need more."[4]
Premise
[edit]A father takes his daughter on a cruise that turns out to be for swingers.[4]
