WHAT

There are three types of girlfriend.
Those you tell your parents about,
Those you tell your friends about,
And those you tell no one about...




Reformed womaniser Nick is approaching thirty and has fallen head over heels with the girl he wants to marry and have kids with. But then a dark little fling he'd rather forget comes back to threaten everything. For the first time he understands that a picture-perfect, middle-class life might not be a given. How far will he go to keep himself in the game everyone else seems to be playing?

ABOUT THE PRODUCERS

Anna, Chad and Jeremy met through acting and were frustrated by the lack of theatre opportunities for young actors in Sydney.
Instead of sitting around and waiting for work to come to them, they decided to create their own and so began the process of producing The Good Things Men Do.
