The Club is a satirical play by Australian playwright David Williamson. It follows the fortunes of an Australian rules football club over the course of a season, and explores the clashes of individuals from within the club. It was inspired by the backroom dealings and antics of the Victorian Football League's Collingwood Football Club.
The play was first staged by the Melbourne Theatre Company on 24 May 1977 at the Russell Street Theatre. It toured Australia-wide, breaking all previous box office records, and had seasons in Germany, the United States (where it ran under the name Players) and the United Kingdom. It is popular with amateur theatre groups and secondary school students, having been in the senior English syllabi for four Australian states for many years.
In 2007, The Club was re-produced and toured throughout Australia, starring John Wood.
A film version was produced in 1980, written by David Williamson, directed by Bruce Beresford and starring John Howard, Jack Thompson, Graham Kennedy and Frank Wilson. The film was described as a "hilarious, sharply observed slice of life".
Another extra from The Club DVD, circa 2002. This runs for a bit over half an hour and features interviews with Jack Thompson, Bruce Beresford, Alan Cassell, Matt Carroll, Rene Kink, Ray Shaw and Tom Hafey. The stars of the film look back over their involvement in what has become a cult classic.
Footage from David Williamson's "The Club", starring Jack Thompson, & Graham Kennedy - a film that features the Collingwood Football Club & some of its great players if the era. www.collingwoodfootytour.com
Highly recommended.

Club footage circa 1986 .Original footage is from club stratus and they get all the credit so check them out. So Enjoy. (true 80's club footage) This is how people dressed and danced in the 80's. The club is STRATUS DANCE CLUB in California. This isn't the original music they danced to...but in same era. Enjoy. I'm the original poster of this video/song... If you want to see the original videos please visit:https://www.youtube.com/user/StratusDanceClub We danced to many songs...I originally cut from many different segments/nights. So the songs didn't flow well in editing...so about 10 years ago I created a Trisome21-The Last Song Extended version to fit the length of the video. I chose the song for it's nostalgic value...playing on the "last song" to emphasis that this era is long go...

Wednesday, day number one has arrived
The club opens up at 9
Big Klaus is bouncing all around
An extreme fight crowns the night
Thursday night the second day of action
The happy hour is a must
While Friday night comes psycho crazy
Maniacs to turn your face around
All shrinks are insane
The club is in my veins
Morals and values of the crazy minds
The outsider is the society
We tear it off the ground
Hey, hey, join the club of monstrous action
Hey, hey, you may talk to special people
Hey, hey, have some vodka lemon there
Hey, hey, relax in the living room with K2
Saturday, Dr. Oetker's pack attacks
And is rioting for free speech
Hassan, the Morroccan warrior
Goes off to battle with his club
The final day of ravage which lead to total chaos
Is Sunday's holy jazz hour
The holy man Ulf sends his blessings for the world
Peace, hand in hand we dance and shout
We are the anarchist
