A Family of Brothers is an informal and entertaining history of one of Australia's most remarkable theatrical families: five brothers who, starting with nothing but their own initiative and intelligence, ran the world's largest theatrical chain for nearly half a century. It is the story of their struggles, setbacks and successes, of the people who played an important part in the history of J. & N Tait and J. C. Williamson Ltd, and of those who nearly spelt The Firm's doom from time to time.
