As Australia holds its breath waiting for the government’s response to the Garnaut Review into Climate Change, the outrageously talented Wharf Revue team (now 25% ethanol) returns to deliver its ninth annual dose of razor-sharp hybrid satire, with eco-friendly characters, carbon-neutral sketches and recycled self-defecating humour.
Waiting for Garnaut previews from Thursday 31 July (opening Saturday 2 August) in Wharf 1 and includes:
The Sound of Rudd
Sister Kevin, having been placed with the Von Trapp working family, has a crisis of faith: can he fulfill his pre-election vows? He returns to the convent to seek the advice of Mother Keating of the Order of the Economic Rationalists.
Brendan Nelson: I’m Not There
The many lives of Brendan Nelson come to you in an Indie bio-pic, “I’m Not Here”. Like a rolling stone, he gathers no momentum.
Mugabe brings Harmony
The Harare Gospel Choir (deceased) sing a traditional song of praise to Zimbabwe’s Lyin’ King.
Calling Dr Iemma
Is there a doctor in the lower house? Join Dr Iemma, Nurse Reba Meagher and the wacky staff of the Sussex St ER Department as they battle against the clock to resuscitate the terminal state of New South Wales.
Obama Rap
MC Obama hip-hops his way into history. He’s in de house… da White House.
Following the Wharf 1 season, the production also tours to Parramatta Riverside Theatres (opens 9 September), Casula Powerhouse (opens 18 September), Illawarra Performing Arts Centre (opens 23 September) and Penrith’s Q Theatre (opens 3 October).
