The Coming of Stork was the first play written by David Williamson.

The cast for the original production included Alan Finney, Bruce Spence and Peter Cummins.

It was adapted into the feature film Stork in 1971, starring Bruce Spence.

A socially awkward and loudly left wing student comes to share a flat with three of his University friends with disastrous results.

Williamson was asked to write a ten minute script for a Carlton theatre and ended up writing a full length play.

The play was autobiographical.
