Smurf in Wanderland

<p>David Williams - acclaimed documentary theatre maker writer and football fanatic - is the 'Smurf'. For the uninitiated 'Smurf' is the nickname given to a Sydney Football Club fan. During the 2013-14 A League football season Williams a long-suffering Sydney FC fan frequented Western Sydney Wanderers' games on their home turf in Parramatta. Kitted out in his Sydney FC sky-blue jersey Williams-the-Smurf stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the sea of red and black. His presence caused bewilderment and banter but none of the hooliganism that's come to be associated with the game - he didn't need to fear for his life. Developed during Williams' 2015 residency<em> Smurf in Wanderland</em> is one man's insightful and hilarious examination of football tribalism belonging and identity. It's also a passionate defence of the fan - what it means to be a fan the demonisation of fans and the artificial wedge that has been created between Sydney and its western suburbs.</p>
