If you like your laughs uncomfortable and your satire as sharp as a roo’s front tooth, this is the play for you.
Glen Street Theatre has announced the addition of Australia Dayto its 2016 season.Aplay by acclaimed satirist Jonathan Biggins, one of the masterminds behind the Wharf Revue,Australia Day centres around a hapless committee set up to celebrate the national culture as best they can, only to find that their unresolved tensions are slowly beginning to rise to the surface.
Directed by Biggins himself, the work is a brave, warts and all examination of our culture, so if you want to direct your steely gaze into the mirror and reflect back on what Australians really look like, get your tickets pronto.
Australia Dayopens on Tuesday February 16 and closes on Sunday February 21. Tickets are available from the Glen Street Theatre website, here.
