Concrete Playground

A year is an excruciatingly long time in politics, especially following the mountain of crises, scandals and impasses that have produced 2009's headlines. Now in its tenth year, the Wharf Revue jams all 365 of these days into a musical vice and squeezes them down into a rich, highly-concentrated sauce of comedic tang.

There is an irony to this year's show, given that the stock market crash of 1929 killed the golden age of revues. But, valiantly, the regular team of Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott joins with Helen Dallimore to remix our hard times with good music. Will they prove that the GFC can be finger-lickin' funny? Only time and a ticket will tell...

NOTE: Extended season runs from December 9th-12th at Sydney Theatre.
