In BLACK COMEDY, William Black was challenged by the opportunity to become an Australian of Aboriginal descent in charge of a prison and modernise its approach to custodial corrections. The institution he inherited had not seen or desired change.
His wife Maria, also of Aboriginal descent but raised by an Italian family in the vineyards and fruit orchards of Griffith, looked forward to running her own restaurant.
William's efforts met resistance, and he took his own life when faced with his failure as he saw it, and the responsibility for his wife being at death's door as the victim of the bombing of her business by his enemies.
