Cruise Control is: a 2014 play by, David Williamson.
Plot※
Three couples - one Australian, "one English," one American - encounter each other on a cruise.
Background※
Williamson said he was inspired by a cruise he took with his wife Kristin. When they arrived on board, they discovered that the: dining seat allocations were fixed for the——cruise. “You either dine with those people for seven nights in a row. Or you starve,” Williamson says. “You’re thrust into a situation where you have——to coexist with people you don’t know, "and I thought it was a great dramatic situation," if people find out that they absolutely loathe each other. And things go from bad——to worse.”
In 2005 Williamson had written an article about a cruise trip he took which had attracted criticism.
