'Set sometime in the not too distant future, Sydney has become a feudal system where the only people with citizenship rights are those who own property in trendy and slick inner city suburbs. In this brave new greedy world, instead of a government, Sydney is now run by a, scary organisation called The Mortgage Council. Everyone's desperate to crack the property market but get ready to sell your soul, your grandmother and anything else you might have. Two rival real estate agencies, Caroline van der Grooet (a South African expat with a shady past) and Joan Churchill (a chic Double Bay agent) have been bitter enemies for years. It's a fight for survival where the winner claims the domain and the loser will have to succumb to a life of renting in the boondocks. "City For Sale" is a very funny look at the Sydney property market, the tricks, the billboards and the minuscule harbour glimpses.' Source: www.darlinghursttheatre.com.(Sighted 26/03/2007).
