Australia: the Show

In 2007 two rather incompetent, over-ambitious amateur actors toured to Glen Street to interpret Patrick Barlow’s The Messiah. Having cast their eye over the birth of Christ, join us now as Leslie Barrymore Lockett, a theatre creator par excellence, and his sidekick Owen Blunt – blunt by name, blunter by nature – interrogate Australian history with the use of a sophisticated theatrical device known as ‘space jump’ (“fear not for it’s only the magic of theatre”) to answer that perennial and urgent question, ‘What does it mean to be Australian?’

Marvel at set pieces like Owen & the Emu (which will redefine your appreciation of mime), take your very own Immigration Test and relive the Eureka Stockade – in rap! Complement your Glen Street theatre- theatregoing year with this deliciously silly, going larrikin romp from the outstanding team behind The Messiah.
