'Friday Night at the Union' will be followed by three other plays.
“Friday Night at the Union”
Cameron Oakes finished his term as President of Batman University Student Union shrouded in controversy, accused of sending the union broke by turning the organic food co-op into a failed dot com venture.
Fast forward to April the next year, and the University is holding fresh student elections, amid an inquiry into Cameron’s conduct.
The student left faction is making a desperate bid to reclaim the union, while the right-wing are campaigning to hold onto their power.
So when the two groups meet at the Union Hotel Friday night before the elections, it’s going to get ugly.
